Red Kites Home Learning

To help your child at home, you are asked to complete home learning each week. I have sent a separate email that has a reminder of your login details.

  • Reading at least three times a week and recording this on Boom Reader - let Mrs Kelsey know if you need a reminder of login details.  https://go-read.co.uk/ 
  • Rehearsing spellings – please keep the file in your child’s book bag, we will give them a new sheet each Monday and you will be able to see their scores in the weekly spelling test.  There are ideas on the back of the sheet to help you to learn the spellings.   The sheets are also saved below in case the folder is left at school!
  • Supporting maths - home learning booklets are attached below for the Autumn Term learning.  If you would like to be provided with a printed copy, please ask Mrs Kelsey.   Red Kites have started work on learning times-tables by heart.   To support this, all children will be sent home with a multiplication grid to keep at home.  Please stick this up at home somewhere visible and encourage children to look at it when they practise counting in steps of 3, 4, 6 or 8, when you ask them times-tables questions or when they complete home learning tasks on Century Learning or play Hit The Button.   Looking is Learning, so the more frequently children look at the grid, the more quickly they will be able to recall the facts.

    We also love singing Percy Parker songs to help with learning our times-tables https://www.youtube.com/@percyparker9132
