Happy Wednesday Team Spurrier :)

Thank you for all of your lovely learning from yesterday. Make sure you are posting them all on the class Padlet for your friends to see. They really make me smile too. It doesn't have to be the home learning tasks, it can be anything you have been up to from baking to loosing a tooth, to just saying hi to all your friends.

How to help your child with reading at home:

The EEF have researched into the top ways to help your child with learning to read. I have attached the links at the bottom for parents to have a look at. They are all based around trust and discussion.

There are some new websites that launched yesterday which are offering online lessons, games, teaching packs and daily support for parents. This maybe something of use if you are looking for any extra/different learning opportunities. Below are the links:
