Homework

Reading

Children are expected to read their reading book at home every night. There is a Home Reading Record for  parents/carers to fill in with the pages that children have read and any comments they wish to make. Teachers will look at these and award ‘Track it’ points to children who have brought in a completed Home Reading Record.

Spelling (pink books)

Children will be bringing their spelling book home at least twice per week. There is guidance on how this is to be completed in the front of the books. It is really important that these books are kept safe  and not lost, as they will provide a record of the key words children know how to spell.

Maths

Maths homework is given on a Monday and need returning on a Friday.
There is also an online resource called ‘Numbots’ that children can access to support with their number knowledge. You should have already received information about this. Please see your child’s teacher if you have not.

Learning Challenges

Following our recent parental survey, many parents/carers requested further homework opportunities that focused on the wider curriculum. Children will be bringing home their ‘Learning Challenge’ book. Each half term there are 4 optional activities for children to do if they wish. Once a challenge has been completed please hand in the book so the teacher can see the wonderful work children have completed.
