Key information
Routines
Please remember we have indoor PE on Monday's and outdoor PE Wednesday's so please make sure you come in your PE kit ready to get active.
The only way you become a reader is by reading !
We expect the children to be reading at least three times per week at home and for it to be recorded in their reading diary. Please make sure their books and diaries come into school on a
Monday for us check and sign to then go home on a Tuesday. It can include any genre of book, comics, newspapers, fiction, non-fiction or whatever takes their fancy. We just want it to be a pleasurable time for them and to develop a love of reading. We really enjoy listening to the children's conversations about the books they are enjoying at home.
Home learning
Phonics and SPaG home learning books are sent home every Tuesday. Each week we will send your child home with the graphemes (written letters) and corresponding phonemes (sounds) that they have been learning in school - year one.
Each week, we will send home your child’s SPaG focus for the week - year two.
For maths, children will use Numbots. Numbots helps consolidate their basic maths skills.
Home learning grids are sent home at the beginning of each term with a minimum of 5 different pieces completed each half term so get creative!
Learning Powers
At Offmore we believe in giving our children the skills they need to be enthusiastic, positive and successful learners.
The children can earn points for using their learning powers. These include:
Busy Bee power- given for active learning, such as being focused.
Unicorn powers are given for playing and exploring, using a 'can do' approach.
Magnifying powers are given for creating and thinking critically, such as using learning walls independently to further own learning.
