Home Learning

Weekly homework – A numeracy or literacy activity will be alternated each week. This will usually be based on something we have learned that week in class and can be linked to our inquiry theme work. It will be set on a Friday and will be due in on Wednesday. This will be uploaded onto Google Classroom as an assignment. Please submit (hand in) via Google Classroom.
-
Termly homework – We have provided a grid of activities linked to our inquiry which promote a range of skills and cover additional areas of the curriculum such as expressive arts and health and wellbeing. This can be found both on the website and Google Classroom. We ask that children choose at least one activity to complete by the end of each term and this will be presented to the class to celebrate the great home learning that is taking place.
-
Daily reading (10 minutes a day)- Your child will come home with a new reading book each week. Please can you ensure that the reading book is in school every day if possible as we will also read with your child individually once a week in class.

Reading Tips:
Before Reading: If it is the first time your child has read the book, look at the cover and title with them to predict what they think the book might be about. Make links to other books read with similar themes, the same characters and/or similar authors/illustrators.
During Reading: Ask your child questions about the characters in the book as you read the story
• Has your child use his/her finger to follow the direction of the text (top to bottom, left to right)?
• Has your child looked at the sentences and see if they can identify any of the sounds in the words or any of the high frequency words they have learnt?
• Discuss the meaning of any unfamiliar words.
After Reading: Discuss with your child what they liked/disliked about the story
• Can your child think of another title for the book and why?
• Did the story have a sad or happy ending? Can your child think of a different ending for the story?
• Can your child think of another character which he/she might want to add to the story and why?
• With richer picture books, you can ask, ‘what was the big idea of the story?’
