Play some games on Nessy and Emile to practise your reading, spelling and number skills. Logins are in your home readers and instructions were sent home last term and are on the website under your child’s class.
Reading
Look at your reading books that were sent home at the end of term. Please remember to comment in the reading record.

If your child is unable to write their name, this could be practised in felt tip pen, outside with a brush and water or paint on paper.
