We also make time each day for quiet reading, spelling practice, and our daily mile to keep active.

Ideas for Pre-Learning at Home

If pupils would like to get a head start, here are some areas they could research or practise at home:

• Find out who the Vikings were and how they travelled.

• Research different properties of materials (hard, flexible, waterproof, transparent).

• Explore a famous sporting role model and what makes them inspiring.

• Practise times tables on TT Rockstars.

• Read a range of books at home—fiction and non-fiction—and share what you discover.
