Things that help us learn

Doodle Learning is homework for year 6 this year. Please ensure your child is completing this 4x weekly, 5-10 minutes per subject. The children’s efforts with their Doodle are checked weekly.

Reading books are sent home on a weekly basis which are pitched at your child’s current reading ability and at a level they can decode and comprehend at a 95% accuracy. We greatly encourage reading outside of school, including both independent and listened to reading.
