Home Readers
Home Readers are changed weekly. Please ensure that your child changes their book every Friday. If your child is reading a lengthy text, please return your book even if it is not finished – just make a note of the page/chapter you have read up to in the reading log.
Home Learning
If your child is self isolating at home you may ring school to arrange to pick up a Home Learning Pack. This will contain work that the children in class are covering that week.
Your child has also been given an individual password to access: Mathletics, Purple Mash and Timestables Rockstars from home. Please let us know if you need another copy as these are a really useful online learning tool to support your child’s learning from home.
A timetable will be displayed below, each week, while any children from Class Fisher are self isolating.
