Homework
We will be continuing project homework this year. As the children will study different Science, History and Geography units depending on their academic year group, we thought it would be nice to set different project homework. This will provide them a chance to share what they have been learning about when they're split as a class.
If you're not sure what academic year group your child is in, please ask.
We can't wait to see what they produce this half term!

Reading
Nightingale class will change their reading books every Tuesday and Thursday but the children need to have their reading records in school each week.
To ensure our children become fluent, comprehensive readers we would like them to read their home reading text at least 3 times. Each time your child reads, it should be recorded in their reading record and signed by the adult who listened to them.
Research suggests that :
- First read - a child decodes the words but doesn’t fully comprehend the text
- Second read –a child becomes more fluent at blending the words and begin to read for meaning.
- Third read –a child is reading fluently and reading for meaning
Please encourage your child to re-read their book at least 3 times before they request for it to be changed.
Every child has been provided with their login for Rising Stars Reading Planet. The link you will need to access the website is below. Our centre ID is 198939
