Homework

Why do we set home learning tasks?

Home learning is provided each week to support or consolidate learning in class. It allows all children to use and apply their new skills within a different context. Furthermore, talking about an activity/learning task with someone new helps children to understand the work on a new and deeper level.

Homework Expectations 

 EYFS (Reception):

• Read at home at least 4 times each week.

• Follow along with the weekly Seesaw phonics video, practising the sounds taught and forming the letters correctly.

• Share stories and talk about books regularly to develop a love of reading.

Please note that children will be given access to Numbots later in the academic year as they begin to develop their early number fluency skills.

Year 1:

• Read at home at least 4 times each week and record this in their Reading Record.

Please note that children may also be set additional, targeted work to help consolidate understanding of something that has been previously taught.  This will be on an individual basis.
