We are all part of God's vine and are rooted in His rich soil. We are nurtured and supported so that we may grow and spread out into the world to love and to serve.

Home Learning Guidelines:

Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.

To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.

There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks cause unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

The highlighted activities on the learning grid show which activities the children will complete in school.

Make a list of your favourite books throughout your time at primary school. Keep it somewhere safe so you can look back on it when you are older. Or perhaps you could keep adding to it as you finish reading new books.

We love your memories of being at Goring C of E Primary School: could you write an acrostic poem or an alphabet list poem using some of your memories of your time here. If you send them in we will read them to next year’s Year 6 in September.
