Weekly Expectations:
All children from Reception to Year 2 will be asked to read at home at least 4x a week and for this to be recorded by parents, in their reading records.
Class teachers from reception to Year 2 will send home a list of high frequency words which should be read through and practised at least once a week.
Access to Numbots (Reception to Year 2) and Times Table Rockstars (Year 1 and Year 2) will be provided by the school so that these apps can be used to practise key maths skills at home. This should be completed for no more than 10 mins a day and at least 3 x a week. This week, a letter will be issued to each child which will contain their log in details. A small slip containing username and password will be glued into their reading book. Class teachers may also send home harder to read and spell words, or phonics resources to help support your child.
Half Termly Expectations:
Every half term, class teachers will create and send home a menu of activities to be completed over the course of the half term. These will be a range of tasks and will include 2x maths, 2x English, 2x RE, 1x History or geography, 1x science, 1 x Art or DT, 1x music or computing.
These menus will be glued into a homework book and we will invite you to complete as many as you can. You can then tick off those that you have completed and either record in the homework book what you have done. If you have taken a photograph or would prefer to share something electronically, this can be sent through to class teachers via Google Classroom. Each class will then allocate an afternoon where children can bring in and share some of the tasks that they have completed at home.
Weekly Learning
Maths:
In maths we have been consolidating our knowledge of numbers 1-10; this has included counting forwards and backwards to and from 10 and counting amounts from a larger group of objects to make a new group.
English:
RE:
In RE, the children have been learning about St Rose and our class saints, who they are and why they are important. We have also looked at the creation story and recognising that although we cannot see God, his presence can be sensed through the awe and wonder experienced in the world around us.
Science:
In science, we have started our topic 'Animals;' we have been looking at the different animal groups and have been sorting and classifying animals into groups by features and appearance.
Key Information
A love of reading!
Learning to read is perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can ever give a child. Many adults remember those special books that we loved to read as children; those books that made us laugh, smile and the adventure they took us on.
At St Rose’s, we want to give every child this same passion for reading. We have worked with the School Book List to resource every classroom book corner at school with a fresh range of appropriate and exciting texts.
Please follow the link below to see the books that are in your child’s book corner. You may wish to purchase one or two of these fabulous texts to enjoy with your child at home.

Reading Books
Guided Reading will be changed throughout the week and individual choice books will be changed every Friday.
Homework
Please ensure you are reading every evening with your child.
P.E
Our P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday. P.E. kits should be kept in school at all times. We will send them home over the school holidays. Remember if your child has a club after school you will need to return their PE kit. All long hair needs to be tied back.
*We will have designated Forest School days this year, as opposed to weekly sessions; these dates will be communicated nearer the time.*
Morning Routine
When children arrive in the morning they are expected to say goodbye to their parents on the playground. The children then come into class and change out of their coats, put away their book bags, water bottles and lunch boxes. Once their belongings are away the children go to their places where they complete their early morning work. At 8:40 the classroom door is closed and registration is taken, finishing with morning prayer. Any child arriving after 8:40 must enter school through the Main Entrance where they must be signed in.
