Homework
We appreciate your support with your child’s homework. Each week, the children will be given:
- Reading assignments- Collins Hub
- Spelling practice via Edshed (games have been assigned for each child to practice their spellings). Your child’s login details can be found in their reading record book, along with their TTRS login for times tables practice.
It’s essential that you hear your child read as often as possible. We ask that children get at least three signatures in their reading diaries each week.
We would love to have volunteers to read with the children. If you can help, please come and speak with us!

Additional information and resources for these topics can be found in Google Classroom.

Term 4
This term, Birch Class will be exploring a rich and exciting curriculum designed to deepen curiosity, creativity, and understanding. Our learning will focus on plants, habitats, and how living things depend on one another, alongside a historical investigation into why the Romans invaded and settled in Britain. In English, children will be inspired by high‑quality texts as they develop their writing through stories, descriptions, and diary entries. In Maths, the classes will continue strengthening knowledge in fractions, measurement, mass, capacity, and temperature. We will also grow in our school value of Forgiveness, reflect on Lent and Holy Week in RE.
Your continued support plays an important role in your child’s progress. Please remember to show curiosity about what they are learning. Use the curriculum map attached (and provided in hard copy) to engage with their learning, revisit key vocabulary, and discuss any questions your child may have.
Times tables are also an important part of your child’s learning. Children need to know them with confidence, as they are beginning to apply this knowledge across a wider range of tasks. Secure times‑table knowledge supports strong and consistent progress in Maths.
Please encourage your child to practise their times tables either on paper (using the booklets provided) or by taking part in the weekly TTRS competition.
