Homework
Please find 10 minutes each night to read with your child. You can ask them questions about the characters, what they think is going to happen next and what their favourite part of the story is. You can help at home by consolidating their learning at school. Practise their phonics work and spellings. The children may find it useful to visit the library and research Rio, where it is and what the weather is like there. Please also complete one Chilli Challenge Homework each week. Homework should be returned to school on Wednesdays.
