Yellow

Welcome to Yellow class - Year 3 and 4.

Homework: In Yellow class, children are expected to read at least 4 times a week, practise their weekly spellings (set and test on Friday), and to complete either a maths or English homework set online on Sumdog every Tuesday which is expected to be completed by the following Tuesday.

Reading: Reading is a lifelong skill that we try to develop as your child continues their journey through our school. We are keen to develop a love of books and escapism as early as possible, which is why we have introduced ‘Reading Karate’ this year. This is a reward based system for reading at home, which results in the children moving up through coloured ‘belts’ (wristbands) depending on how many ‘reads’ they have completed. We would greatly appreciate your support with this new initiative, not only by listening to your child read but by perhaps sharing some of your favourite books from your childhood with them too.

Maths: Breage C of E school has invested in ‘Timestables Rockstars’, an online resource for learners to practise their multiplication skills. This will enable children to become more fluent in their multiplication tables. Children also have Sumdog login details which they can use outside of school (as well as in school) to practise key maths skills.

PE days will usually take place on Wednesdays.
