Topic
Our current topic is:
Journey down The River Nile
PE
Heron P.E. day is Wednesday. Please ensure your child arrives to school in their P.E. on this day.
Homework
Reading
Guided Reading homework will be a key focus for your child this year.
Spellings
Spellings will also form an important part of the children’s learning at home. Children have been sent spelling lists, which we will check their application of throughout the week.
Times tables
Your child will bring home a times table sheet weekly. The children will be tested on these the following Friday and once they achieve 50 correct answers, they will then progress on to the next sheet (getting progressively more tricky!). This is a timed challenge - 3 minutes and for many it will take time to be able to master this. We urge you to practice with your child at home so that they can make progress. Timetable Rockstars is set up for children to use daily at home.
Class essentials
We do encourage all the children to bring in a bottle of water for drinking during lessons. They can fill this in the classroom.
Please ensure that your children have separate indoor and outdoor shoes.

We use a reward system in school called Class Dojo these are online creatures that your child can personalize, and if your child follows school rules and routines and strives to do their best, they will receive Dojos through the week. Again you will receive an invite and you can log on to ‘Class Dojo’, where you can see one of the ways we give positive feedback.
We are also on Twitter, so watch out for our tweets! You can find us at @mps_heron We use twitter and the school website if we need to remind you of events such as home clothes days or if it is bad weather and the school has to shut. It’s worth logging on.
