Helping your child at home:
Maths
These help sheets give details about the different maths skills on the National Curriculum. The SATS test material from Years 3-6 so I have included information for all of these year groups
If there any areas of maths that your child struggles with, there are free video lessons that can be watched using the links below.
White Rose Maths Lesson Videos
Here are some websites/apps that your child can use to practise on
White Rose Maths One-minute maths app

Reading
Please encourage your child to read daily.
For advice on helping your child to read at home, click here.
Some children need a little extra support to become fluent readers. They will have a book linked to their reading stage to take home and read with their parent.
These children will also read regularly to an adult in school. They will have separate books for home and school so there will not be a set day for changing reading books. Please just send the book back once it is finished.
Children can read online books for free here:

You will need a login for Oxford Owl. It was given out 17/01/22 and again on 25/03/22.
Children can practise their reading comprehension using these quick practice sheets.
