Reading to and with your child every day for just 10 minutes will have an enormous impact on their learning.

Dear Challenger,
It was great to see so many of you at Parents’ Meetings this week, and it’s great to hear that all of you are keen to do extra learning at home to help improve your progress. Please see some great websites below that will provide you with materials across the key subjects: English Grammar, Spelling, Maths and Reading.
- Oak Academy This website is great for all subjects. Be sure to click on the necessary subject links to access the materials.
- BBC Bitesize : BBC is another great resource to learn in all of the key subjects.
- Khan Academy on YouTube: Khan Academy is a great YouTube channel to help teach you the different concepts that we learn in maths. You will just need to type the area of maths into YouTube alongside Khan Academy, and find the video e.g. rounding Khan Academy.
Lastly, I am pleased to share that Invicta Academy are offering FREE online classes over the October Half Term. Please click on the link below to book your place if you wish to attend (remember, we are Upper Key Stage 2).

Come along to a Phonics workshop in the Bottom Hall on Friday 4th November.
I will be explaining how we teach early reading skills through the Little Wandle Phonics Scheme.
You have a choice of times:
9.00 – 9.45 OR 2.15 – 3.00
Look out for an information flier that will come home with your child if they are in Reception, Year 1 or 2.
Please return the slip so I know how many will be attending.
Looking forward to seeing you then.
