Do not fear the homework!

We know it looks a lot to start with but this is just a guide. All homework set is used to reinforce the teaching that is happening in class that week. We understand some children will at times find it tricky but all we ask is they have a go and try their best!

Reading

We ask the children to read 3-5 times a week at home for 10 minutes. It would be really helpful if you could record this in their reading diaries – even if it’s just with an initial.

Grammar

Each week a task will be set from the Grammar CGP book. You will receive a note telling you which task page to complete. Again this should take no longer than 10/15 minutes. The task will be linked to the grammar lesson taught on a Monday. Remember do not fear if it is too tricky – all we ask is your child has a try and does their best 🙂

 

Spelling

Each week your child will receive some spellings to learn at home. We encourage the children to practice using them by putting them into a sentence, as often they learn the word in a list but can’t put it into their writing.

Creative Home Learning

This is your chance to be creative! You will be provided with an overview of the tasks for the whole half term. Please use these as a guide, remember do not fear the homework! This is an opportunity to have some fun with homework and take it in a direction of your choice. Go wild!
