Diamond, Emerald and Sapphire Classes
In Diamond, Emerald and Sapphire, we encourage children to be active and independent learners through a wide and varied curriculum. Children are taught reasoning and problem solving skills in maths and are encouraged to use sentence structures to develop a deeper understanding. In literacy, key texts are used to teach reading and writing skills and to promote a love for reading. Our topics are diverse to reflect our community and we will learn about local heroes that have made an impact in our local area and beyond!

Homework
Homework is set every week on Fridays. Please read ParentHub to find the information on homework. It is important for the children to read every day from the book they take home and from the selection of books on Bug Club. Please discuss the text they have read and ask questions on what they have read. This will help them understand the text even deeper. Once you have read, please leave a comment in their reading record. Children need to bring in their school reading books every day along with their reading record as they will be read with by an adult throughout the week. They also need to ensure they are bringing it in so they can change their books weekly.
