Home learning

Homework will be set on a Friday. Home learning journals will be sent home to be returned by the following Thursday. Activities and reading logs can be accessed via our online learning platform, Learning with Parents. 

Log on to TTRS or Numbots to practice your times tables and number bonds. Try to do this 5 minutes a day - it really makes a difference! Log in details can be found in your home learning journal. 

 

Reading Books

We hope that you will be able to read with your child for at least 10 minutes per day.

Every Friday we will have a library session during which your child will choose a new reading book to take home or continue with one they are already reading.  Books cannot be changed for a new text unless the previous one is returned.

 

Times Tables Rock Stars and Numbots

Please use your username and password to log into the platforms (it is the same for both).  Here you can practise your number bonds and times tables. Certificates will be given out in Celebration Assembly on Fridays.

On Complete Maths the children will be able to acces learning to support what they are doing in class. These are bespoke projects, designed by their teacher to push their learning on.

Term 1 and 2

Autumn Term 2026

Collective Worship

Our value for the autumn term is Compassion, inspired by the words of wisdom from Colossians 3:12:“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Throughout the term, we will explore what it means to notice the needs of others and respond with care. We will think about noticing a need, reflecting on Jesus’ teaching in Luke 14, which encourages us to put others first. We will learn about showing compassion to those who are searching for love and belonging, inspired by Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus reminds us how precious every person is. We will explore what it means to be a good neighbour, considering how our actions can make a positive difference to those around us. We will think about having generous hearts, looking at ways we can care for people in our local community and support those in need. We will reflect on putting on the right attitude, guided by Colossians 3:12, and consider how compassion can be shown through our words and actions each day. We will also learn about reaching out to those who may feel left out or overlooked, inspired by Luke 17:11-19, and explore how forgiveness and mercy are important expressions of compassion. As part of our learning, we will celebrate Harvest, giving thanks for the gifts we have received and thinking about how we can share those blessings with others through generosity, kindness, and service.

In Autumn Term, our Prayer Space will focus on Compassion, encouraging children to notice the needs of others and respond with kindness, generosity and understanding. Through activities such as Helping Hands, children will reflect on practical ways they can support people at home and school, while Walking in Their Shoes will encourage them to think about how others might be feeling and how they can help. Prayer for a Friend and Compassion Candles will provide quiet opportunities for children to pray for those who may be lonely, worried or unwell, helping them to develop empathy and care for others.
