Maths
Maths home learning will be set via an information slip which will be sent home weekly, in folders on Fridays, informing parents and carers of the maths learning their child has completed that week. This slip will describe learning suggestions, with a mixture of online and practical activities you can complete at home to support your child's maths learning.
Spellings
From January onwards, spellings will be sent home every week to be practised. There will also be available on Spelling Shed - please contact your class teacher if you need a copy of your login details.
Phonics
At Marlcliffe we believe that reading development needs to be central to our curriculum and the teaching of phonics forms the foundation of this. Phonics and reading are heavily intertwined, especially in the early stages of learning to read, and phonics is a vital tool in the understanding of text.
Our teaching and learning is based on a phonics and early reading scheme called ‘Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised’, which is used by over 5000 primary schools in the UK.
Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised is the fastest growing Department for Education-validated phonics programme, built around the latest research into how children read most effectively. It is designed to ensure that learning stays in a child’s long-term memory and helps them to apply their learning to become a highly competent reader. The scheme supports all children to enjoy success in reading and has highly targeted interventions if anyone needs a little extra help. Plus there are lots of joyful characters for the children to meet along the way!
There is lots of advice for parents and carers on the Little Wandle website:
https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/
The resources on this page will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
