Home learning
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)
- Shared read their EYFS library book
- 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).
- 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
- Complete tasks on Century each week (30 minutes a week) (English or maths task alternate)
Year 3 and 4

Homework to be set on a Friday and to be completed by the following Friday morning.
In the event of an emergency school closure, work will be set on Century for pupils in year 2 to 6. For pupils in EYFS, tasks will be set on Tapestry and for year 1, guidance will be set through Studybugs.
