Welcome to Yew and Beech Classes
It is hard to believe we are now in the second half term. Children will have brought home their maths and writing targets. Feel free to pop in if you want to discuss these.
Useful websites to support tables practice are as follows:
www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/numbers/multiplication/timestables
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/timestable/interactive.htm
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/timestable/index.html
www.multitables.com
Work on the Christmas production will begin soon. I'm sure the children will let you know once parts are allocated.
Homework
Spelling/literacy homework will go out on Monday and should be returned on Thursday. Spelling lists should remain at home so spellings can be practised all week.
Maths homework will go out on a Thursday or Friday and should be returned on Monday.
Blue learning logs will go out on Fridays and the children will have two weeks to complete the work. This is often topic related work and allows the children greater freedom to research and explore different forms of presentation.
We have established this pattern of homework to encourage the children to plan the use of their time effectively. We would appreciate parental support in ensuring homework is returned on time. If homework cannot be completed for any reason, the teacher should be informed. Extensions may be granted under special circumstances.
Parents, please sign homework to show your support.
