Rumaysa: A Fairytale
Step into a Once Upon a Time where anything is possible . . . Radiya Hafiza's enchanting and funny debut weaves together three stories, spinning the classic fairytale to show that anyone can be a hero.
'Rumaysa, Rumaysa, let down your hijab!'
For as long as she can remember Rumaysa has been locked away in her tower, forced to spin straw into gold for the evil Witch, unable to leave. Until one day, after dropping a hijab out of her small tower-window, Rumaysa realizes how she might be able to escape . . .
Join Rumaysa as she adventures through enchanted forests and into dragon's lairs, discovers her own incredible magical powers and teams up with Cinderayla and Sleeping Sara!

Reading
Reading for just 20 minutes a day at home can significantly boost a child’s vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence. When children read for pleasure, choosing books they enjoy, they’re more likely to develop a lifelong love of reading, which supports academic success and emotional wellbeing. Regular visits to the library are a great way to encourage this habit, giving children access to a wide range of books and helping them explore new interests in a fun, free, and welcoming environment.
Spelling
Each week, children will be sent home with 10 spellings to practise, all linked to a specific spelling rule being taught in class. To support learning, we encourage the "Read, Write, Cover, Check" method—children read the word, write it down, cover it, and then check to see if they spelled it correctly. This helps reinforce memory and accuracy.
Talk Task
Talk Task homework is designed to support your child’s “sticky knowledge”, the key facts and concepts they are learning in class that we want them to remember long-term. Each week, your child will be asked to talk through 3–4 facts they’ve been learning in school, helping them to reinforce understanding through discussion at home.
MTC
Multiplication is a top priority for us this year, in a few short months we will be completing the Multiplication Check. This is an online assessment of how fluent the children are in multiplication. They will be given 25 questions from across the times tables and have 6 seconds to answer each question. To help prepare your child, we ask you practise their times tables every day to ensure a a secure knowledge of them.
Finally, the children will take part in our weekly Map Quest challenge in class. This activity is designed to make geography fun while building the children’s knowledge of places and locations.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your child with their homework — working together makes a real difference.
MTC Check
Your child will be participating in the multiplication tables check (MTC) in June.
The purpose of the check is to determine whether your child can fluently recall their times tables up to 12, which is essential for future success in mathematics.
