Homework: Now the children are in the juniors, they will be set English and Maths homework online on a site called Mirodo. They will be given a unique username and password to access the site. We will be able to monitor their progress online when they submit their work.
Reading Books: We encourage you to please read at home as much as possible with your child. Their books will be changed as and when returned but we do recommend they change their books weekly unless their book is a longer text.
