• Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes at least 3 times a week is super important. You will have taken your Reading Record home for your parents to comment on. These will be collected by teachers and checked from time to time. Please make sure you bring your book and your reading record in with you every day. As soon as you are ready you can take a quiz at school. Remember that you need 3x 100% scores to move up a level.

• High Frequency Words - Learn the words in your Reading Records. Practice spelling them out loud and writing them down.

• Times table practice - this week we are looking at 8s. Please practice these as we do in school.
