Reading

You are expected to read every day at home for 15 minutes. Your adult then needs to date, sign and write a quick comment in your reading record book to show you have read to them. This will be checked by your teacher every Friday.

E.g. 4.9.20. Mrs Turner. Mo read fluently and stopped at every full stop before continuing to read.  

RM Easimaths

You are expected to spend at least 20 minutes a week completing Maths questions and problems on RM Easimaths. You will use your log in you have always used and were sent again in March during lockdown. 

The longer time you spend on RM Easimaths the greater chance your class will have of winning a prize at the end of the half term!
