Reading at Home/ Homework
Please listen to your child read every day and ensure that their Reading Diary is signed to confirm this. We are checking Reading Diaries each week. Other topic related homework will be set. Remember to check Seesaw and Purple Mash for additional activities that are set.
Seesaw
Thank you to all who have signed up for Seesaw. It is a wonderful platform for us to use to set work for the pupils and for them to share the work that they do in school with those at home. All pupils have their Seesaw home learning code in their reading diaries to access their page at home.
