Homework will be set Friday to Friday and will include spellings, a maths task, an english task and a link to a times tables website. Spellings will also be posted on Google Classroom as well as sent home via Marvellous Me.

Home Reading

Reading is important and is a skill that can open up opportunities across the curriculum and enable you to find out about the world. Reading is a priority at our school and we want our children and families to foster a love of reading.

We will be completing lots of reading tasks in school but reading at home can support you and is something you can do to help you make excellent progress across the curriculum. 

All children will need a home reading book and reading at home will be recorded in their journal. We do expect that children will read at least 3 times every week ask parents to sign the journals.  House points and Be Your Best Self tickets will be given to children who are reading and returning their journal daily. If you read 5 times a week for a whole half term then you will be invited to our 'Starbooks Cafe'. 

Homework: Set on Friday and due back in on the following Friday. 

Homework helps children by recapping learning that has taken place in the classroom. It is important that homework is completed every week. Homework will be set on Google Classroom. Please request paper copies from Mrs. Durbin if children work better this way.
