All children are expected to do homework to practise skills taught in school, to research topics and to encourage parental engagement with their learning.

In years 1-6, children will have spelling lists which they should learn for the weekly spelling test.

Children will also have times tables to learn at home which will be tested most weeks.  They have access to Times Table Rock Stars and Numbots, which they can access at leisure.

Years 1 to 6 also have a termly ‘Homework Ideas’ which can be found in the learning summaries for each class. These provide useful suggestions on ways to help your child at home.  These are developed to deepen the understanding of the overall topic for the term.  Some are practical and all should be fun to complete.

In Reception, information is given most weeks. Reading practice and the application of academic skills in practical situations are vital in supporting children’s learning.

All children have a reading book and a reading record.  Please sign this when they read at home. We encourage children to read daily. This can be reading to an adult, to their pet, to their brother or sister or sometimes being read to as well.  We want children to love books and reading.

Please support your child at home and ensure homework is completed.
