Hi all,
Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and start to the week. Today I have sent home the first lot of homework. Your child has been sent home with a blue jotter. In the front of jotter is a spelling sheet on silent -b which is our sound from last week for a bit of consolidation and in the back is a maths/numeracy grid. Only one of the numeracy activities needs to be done each week and once an activity has been completed confidently it can be coloured green. If there is any written practise you wish to do this can also been done in the back of the jotter. I have opted to limit it to only a reading book and one homework jotter coming home so as to reduce any risk around COVID 19. All reading pages will be updated on this page. I had originally planned to use Google Classroom for everything however we are currently in the process of updating passwords at the request of glow and I know many parents prefer to minimise screen time too. At the present moment I will be sending homework out on a Tuesday and will be asking for it to be returned on a Friday. Whilst I know that unfortunately this gives a reduced amount of time in which to complete it, it allows the jotters and books to have the recommended quarantine period before marking them. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Also a quick reminder that tomorrow is our PE day so children must be dressed appropriately.

Can I also ask that you are going over your child’s key words every night with them. This can be through just simple flash cards and book hunting or more active learning such as splat, twister, noughts and crosses, connect four. If you need any other ideas don’t hesitate to ask. If you find you are missing the keywords for your child’s stage email me at: k.ramsay@mgfl.net and I will get you a copy sent home.
Children in some of the groups levels do not carry key words and instead we are looking at Fry’s first and second hundred common and tricky words. These can be easily googled and youtubed but again if you would prefer a printed copy email me and I will send a physical copy home.
Have a wonderful week everyone,
Miss Ramsay
