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.
