Homework
All of the children from Year 1 to Year 6 will recieve weekly maths and english homework. Within this homework the children are given their weekly spellings along with a set of GPS (grammar, punctuation and spelling) based tasks. The punctuation and grammar homework is based on gaps identified in the children’s learning or from learning in class during that week.
Maths homework is based on calculation and reasoning, based on the learning that has been done in class that week.
Children are given weekly spellings to learn using the website 'Spelling Shed'.
We also expect the children to read regularly at home. We recommend the children read each book twice, once to decode and discuss the meaning of any new words and once to answer questions about what they have read.
Pupils in KS2 use the Accelerated Reader Program and are able to 'quiz' their books after they have read them. More information can be found on the AR page under the curriculum tab.
If you have any thoughts or questions about homework, please speak to your child's class teacher.
