Court Farm Primary School

Curriculum

Spellings

Spellings will be sent home on either a 1 or 2 week basis. Please make sure you are practicing spellings at home as well as at school during our morning activities!

Home Reading

We think technology is great... but we will also be sending children home with a 'real' book of their choice from our home reading selection. Children should be able to decode these books, but they are challenging so we suggest reading to your child or reading a page each to support children and asking questions that check whether your child understands what they have read or listened to.

Reading is a key skill that we want all children to develop. Please read with your children regularly and record this in their planner. It is important that fluent readers have the chance to read and talk about books with an adult.

Times Tables

Please continue to practice times tables. Children have a test on a Friday morning '99 club'. Children were given a help sheet at the start of the year and are encouraged to play games like Hit the Button which is both fun and competitive.

In Year 4 children will have to complete a new national government test on times tables, which will be timed.

PE

PE is on a Wednesday 

and Thursday afternoon.

Could you please ensure that your child has their PE kit in school. A white t-shirt, black shorts and black pumps are the correct kit. Appropriate footwear is needed and children may bring longer bottoms and a jacket for outdoor activities.  

Snacks

We encourage children to bring in a healthy snack for break time as KS2, are not provided with fruit. Most children bring in fruit and some are bringing in toast, wrapped in foil, for a little energy boost mid-morning.
