Sycamore

Welcome to the Sycamore class page

Welcome back!

We hope that you have had a restful summer and are ready for another year of learning. We have lots of exciting things coming up this term! With the new year, we have lots of new routines and expectations to embed which will enhance the children’s learning.

PE kits are no longer required in school, please ensure that your children come to school in their PE kits on the correct day- for Sycamore this is Tuesday and Thursday.

As a school, we would like children to be reading at home at least four times a week at home. For KS2, this is around 20-30 minutes at a time. Reading is fundamental to children’s development and will help them with their spellings, written work and much more! Each reading session should be recorded - even if it is just by the adult initialling that they have heard their child read. Parents can support their child’s reading by not just listening to them but also asking questions about what they’ve read. Prompts for this can be found in class news. We will be moving towards using a reading app to log home reading, more information will be shared nearer the time, with the aim of launching this just after half term.

Children also have access to Times Tables Rock Stars, which has been successful in improving children’s recall of their multiplication and division facts.
