We also use a Heartsmart Resource at school. This term our theme is 'Don't forget to let love in'- we work very hard to be 'heartsmart' .
HEARTSMART
Heartsmart is a culture-changing resource that is used throughout the whole school and leads out from our worship.
It is about building up character, emotional health and resilience founded in Christian love.

Reading for Pleasure - your child will be able to choose a book from the class library several times a week to bring home to share with you. This is not for them to read, it is for you to read to them and discuss.
Tricky words - these will be checked weekly. Please go through these daily with your child.
MATHS
EYFS - Please ask the children to notice and recognise numbers to 10 and shapes in the outside environment. Ask them to point out numbers on front doors when you are out and about. Ask them to find you certain numbers when out shopping.
Can your child recognise 2D and 3D shapes in the environment? What shapes objects made up of?
This will help your child improve their number skills.
Many thanks
