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

• Read at home at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes each time
• TT Rockstars for 3 X 10 minute sessions a week
• 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

• Complete tasks set on Century for 1 hour a week (English and maths task)

 

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.
