Click here for Glossary of Keywords

Your child will be set weekly homework tasks on Fridays, due in the following Thursday, giving families the option of completing the tasks midweek or at the weekend.

  • A spelling or grammar activity, designed to support, practise, or revisit something we have learned in class will be given weekly. Every other week, a spelling list will be given in preparation for a test the following week.
  • In Maths, the children will be given an activity linked to class work one week and the next week a multiplication-focused task, either using Times Table Rockstars or an activity sheet. 

Ways you can help your child

  • Hearing your child read for 15 minutes a day for 5 days per week is recommended so that children are able to consistently practice their reading skills and develop a love for reading through exploring different books/ stories.
  • Please share and discuss the knowledge organisers for this term, looking at the vocabulary to support their learning.
  • Please ensure that your child is frequently practising their times tables, either on paper or by playing a times-table themed game such as Times Table Rockstars.
In line with our homework policy, each activity should take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
