Homework is used to enhance and support the learning which takes place in school; it should not be a chore or battle. Little and often is the best way.
Weekly homework
- 20 minute daily reading - please record this in the reading diaries. Reading records and reading book should be in school on a daily basis.
- Y2 to practice their weekly phonics spelling sound in their monster spelling book. These will be given out and tested on a Friday.
- learning multiplication tables
There may be additional homework which may take the form of research or investigation, or if a child needs more practice in maths or English. However, this will be on a needs basis.
Reading Diaries will be checked weekly on a Monday but please make sure that they are in school everyday so that your child can read with their teachers.
In class, we encourage children to read at home five times per week and record this in their reading diaries. Children who read five times per week will be celebrated in class and in achievement assembly.
