Ironville and Codnor Park Primary School Believe Achieve Succeed
Kestrels
Hello! A big welcome back to Kestrels class!
Take a look around our class page to see all of the exciting things that we are learning each term.
Phonics/ Reading
Each child has a home reading diary and a book that is chosen by your child for 'reading for pleasure'. Please read the book with your child at least three times per week. We will be starting a Bring or Borrow a Book this term so children can share reading that they enjoy at home with others in their own class.
Numbots/ TT Rockstars
Your child will have a Numbots and TT Rockstars login where your child can practice number skills, multiplication and division knowledge.
Alternatively practice your maths skills using 'Hit The Button' supporting your child with addition and subtraction, number bonds, doubling and halving.
Homework
Children will be given a new set of spellings weekly which focuses and recaps the spelling pattern that they have been learning that week with common exception words. We have a weekly spelling quiz taking place on Fridays. We are looking for superstars aiming for 10/10 which awards them points towards their house team!
Children will also be given a homework booklet for the term and is due in every Friday so we can see how many points your child has earned for some fabulous prizes!
Please can you make sure that your child completes the fun activities set, signed off and is returned to Kestrels Class on a Friday.
