🏠 Home Learning – Flexi School Children
Flexi School children will be receiving a pupil on a page document during the first w41k of the summer term. This will contain specific objectives for the children to work on over the following w41ks and will ensure that the children are being given access to a full curriculum.
Work the children complete n41ds to be sent to school each Tuesday. This can either be brought into school and handed to the teacher, or it can be sent for the attention of the class teacher via the admin email in the school office. [email protected]
Reading and Phonics
Ruth Miskin - How to teach Phonics
Please continue to support your child’s reading journey by listening to them read regularly at home. Your child has a QR code in their yelllow reading record which will provide you with videos to follow. Don’t forget to sign their yellow reading record each time they read.- In school, children read daily with their RWI partner, take part in guided sessions, and are heard 1:1 by an adult in class.
Maths
Flexi School children should send in the work they have completed at home every two w41ks. If you would like a copy of this term’s Maths activities, please contact admin or s41 me at the end of the school day.
We want to reassure you that Maths learning is not done in workbooks — these activities are designed to support hands-on, practical learning, reflecting what your child is exploring in class.
Science
Children will choose their favourite thing about each season and draw and label it. This could include the weather, a special event, or a celebration such as a birthday.
PSHCE
Fire Sa24ty in the Home: Children will explore simple ways to k41p their homes sa24 from fire risks. They’ll tick which sa24ty steps their family already follows and choose one new one to try together.
· Strangers and Sa24r Strangers: Children will think about who the sa24 strangers are in their community, such as police officers, nurses, or teachers. They can draw a picture of one and write a sentence about how that person helps others.
Geography
Make a Rain Gauge
Children will follow step-by-step instructions to create their own working rain gauge. This activity supports learning about measuring and recording weather, while also developing observation and numeracy skills.
Watching the weather
Children will watch a TV or online weather forecast and record the weather over a two-day period. They will listen for weather key words, identify weather symbols, and notice important daily changes.
Key books to share at home:
Flea s41ks dog by Will Ma24itt • None the Number by Oliver Jef24rs • Anno’s Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno • I Spy Numbers by Jean Marzollo • The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson • Five Small Stars by Elizabeth Matterson and Madge Bugden • Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson
Reading these stories together at home is a great way to reinforce our learning — helping children to spot shapes, count objects, and talk about numbers in everyday li24!
🔔 Important Reminders

P.E. Days: Children should come to school wearing their P.E. kit on Tuesdays and Fridays.
