Each child has a home reading diary and a reading book matched to their reading ability. Please read with your child at least three times a week and help them practise the phonemes and tricky words in their reading diary. More information can be found inside the diary.

Your child will receive login details for NumBots and Times Tables Rock Stars, where they can practise their number skills, multiplication and division facts.

Alternatively, you can support your child’s maths learning by using Hit the Button, which helps to develop addition and subtraction, number bonds, doubling and halving skills.

PE is on a Tuesday and Friday, so please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days and that everything is clearly labelled.

PE kit includes: 

• White/pale blue T-shirt with or without the school logo  

• Plain black/navy sweat shirt or school sweatshirt

• Plain black/navy shorts 

• Plain black/navy jogging bottoms or plain black/navy exercise leggings. No logos/brands. 

• Flat trainers (these can be any colour)/black plimsolls 

Children will receive a homework booklet each term containing fun activities to complete with you, as well as reading, maths and tricky word practice.
Please encourage your child to complete the activities, have them signed off, and return the booklet to the class team every Monday.
Homework is marked on Mondays, and children earn points for completed work that can be exchanged for exciting rewards and prizes.
Photos of homework can be emailed to: homework@ironvillecodnorpark.derbyshire.sch.uk.

Please ensure that your child brings a clearly labelled water bottle containing water each day.
