Homework
Homework is a vital part of your child's education:
- It encourages independence
- It helps to reinforce learning we do in class
- It will help prepare children for secondary school
Maths and English
Online SPaG.com and Maths.co.uk homework is set on alternate weeks.
Reading Books
Reading books should be returned to school every day. They will be changed after a short quiz whenever your child has read the whole book.
Children should record at least two entries each week in their reading records - this must be signed by a parent and returned to school each day, signatures will be checked on a Monday. Please try and listen to your child read at least twice a week, then record a comment in their yellow reading record. Read brilliantly? Write a comment. Struggled with certain words? Write a comment. You should aim to discuss what they have read, what can they predict will happen? Why did the character act this way? Please ask for further potential questions to ask your child about their reading.
Spellings
Spellings will be added to Dojo portfolios on Monday and practice must be completed, saved and sent back by the following Monday - when your child will be tested.
For those children who may not have completed their homework by the Tuesday, or those who may have struggled and need some extra support, we do have a homework club on the Tuesday morning during breaktime.
