Homework
We will provide the children with a reading/homework journal which will allow the children to record their reading at home, with the expectation of recording their reading in their journal three times a week. In their reading journal we will also include their timetable to try and help them to organise themselves. We will endeavor to ensure that the pupils write down any homework that they have during the week. This will usually consist of weekly Maths work that develops ideas and learning themes from their lessons. The pupils will have their own log-in for My Maths where most of the work will be set. They will also have a weekly comprehension task along with spelling to learn each week. Additional work will be set as and when necessary. Alongside specific tasks we would hope the children ensure they find time in their busy weeks to read as much as possible (at least three times a week). This can be with an adult or independently if the pupil is a fluent reader. However, discussing the text with a child is equally important. Practicing tables is always valuable to developing many areas of maths.
