Homework
All homework is set on a Friday, due in the following Friday.
Dear Parents,
Homework is given in the form of four activities:
1. Reading - books via the library - please complete the reading journal.
2. Spellings - via Ed Shed. The children have weekly spelling lists to learn that are linked to the expected vocabulary of a Y5 and Y6 child. They can play a variety of games that help the children to learn the sequence the letters appear in the word.
3. Times table practice - via TT Rockstars.
Children have challenge games, depending on their level, so they can improve the rapid recall of number facts relating to multiplication and division.
Times Tables Rock Stars – Times Tables Rock Stars (ttrockstars.com)
4. In addition, there is revision homework that summarises topics in English and Maths. This is given in paper format and should be kept with their pink reading journal.
Each week certificates will be awarded for the 3 areas of homework: reading, TT Rockstars, and Ed shed.
