Weekly Homework and Spellings

This will be handed out every Wednesday and will be due in on a Monday.

Year 1 and 2 – Weekly English homework will be set in an exercise book and will be explained when handed out. Maths weekly homework will be set on Mathletics which is an online maths programme where the questions will be in line with the weekly learning in class.

The Mathletics login details can be found at the back of the Reading Records.

Weekly spellings will also be sent home to practice, ready for a test every Friday morning.

Reception –We expect children to read with an adult at home at least three-four times a week and record their regular reading in their Reading Record book. Even if these are short, ten minute sessions, it will make a big difference. Children will also start to have small handwriting activities to practise their letter formation at home.

Reading – please ensure that you listen to your child read regularly (at least 3 times per week) and don’t forget to sign their reading record, so your child can get their all important sticker! Rewards are given for the following…. 25 stickers = a certificate, 50 stickers = a pencil, 75 stickers = a badge and a full bookmark earns a book. Awards are given out during our Celebration assemblies on Thursdays.
