Homework

We ask that parents support their child in weekly homework to help practise and consolidate the learning from school. 

As part of home-learning, we cannot stress the importance of regular reading practice at home.

Our expectations for home learning are as below:

Reception:

• Read at home each day using their RWI sounds book or reading book.  Read any book bag book from RWI (10 – 15 minutes each time)
• Practice phonics - using shard video link or QR code
• Shared read their EYFS library book
• Use Numbots app or White Rose 1 Minute Maths app 3 times a week (for at least 5 minutes each time)
• Complete any tasks and activities set on Tapestry.

Year 1:

• Read their RWI book and their RWI book bag book each day (for 10-15 minutes 5 times a week)
• Practise phonics using the shared video link or QR code
• Shared read their other reading book (from class library)
• Use Numbots 2 times a week for 10 minutes at a time.

Year 2:

• Read RWI and book bag book 5 times a week (or other reading book given) (10 – 15  minutes each read)
• Use Numbots 3 X a week for 10 minutes each time
• Practise spellings given
• Complete tasks on Century each week (30 minutes a week) 

Year 3 and 4

• Read at home at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes each time
• TT Rockstars for 3 X 10 minute sessions a week
• Practise spellings given
• Complete tasks and activities set on Century (45 minutes a week) (English and maths task)

Year 5 and 6:

• Read at home at least 3 X a week for at least 20 minutes each time
• TT Rockstars for 2 X 10 minute sessions at least
• Practise spellings given
• Complete tasks set on Century for 1 hour a week (English and maths task)

 

Homework is set on a Friday and to be completed by the following Friday morning.

If parents/carers have any problems with the homework being set, they should first discuss this with the class teacher.  Children should become increasingly independent in completing homework as they move through school, but parents are encouraged to get involved, particularly with younger children.

We do expect homework to be completed.  We do offer a free homework club each week for years 2  to 6 to support pupils in completion. We may offer homework club and lunch times for pupils to catch up on missed homework.
