Homework
All homework will be handed out on Thursday and needs to be returned by the following Friday.

The children will be encouraged to read at home at least 3 times a week. However, children are expected your child should have been given a log in for this site and your child is expected to complete at least two quizzes per week. To begin initially your child must complete a baseline test that will access their reading capabilities and give them differentiated work to complete.

Times Tables
The children will be learning their time tables on a weekly basis. There will be a times table challenge on a Friday. Children are encouraged to use timetables rock stars.
Please help your child to do this as all of these things are highly important and play a large role in helping your child to learn and progress.
Our Learning
Distance Learning
As a staff, we are committed to ensuring our children continue to learn at St Mary’s. We understand that we are in strange times and protecting our families, friends and our community is now our number one priority. However, here at St Mary's, we will always endeavor to support our learners at this time and continue to learn and grow.
What is Distance Learning?
Distance learning is where pupils cannot physically present at school. As children cannot access school to learn, their learning will take place online. It is important that children complete the work set.
How will children and families access their Distance/ Home learning?
As a school, we have recently started using an online tool called Class Dojo. Class Dojo is an online behavior management system that promotes and fosters positive student behaviors and classroom culture. Students in each class shall earn 'Dojo' points based on their classroom conduct. Teachers use this tool to Communicate with parents and families, to reward children for positive behavior within the school, and as a tool to send distance/ home learning home. To familiarize yourself with Class Dojo please follow the attached link below and accept your invitation from your child's class teacher. If you need to distance learn, then your child's class teacher will send over the necessary learning for your child to complete from home for that week, For additional resources, please find our useful links tab.
