Class 2 Home Learning Summer Term

All children are expected to complete the following each week:
​

1. Spelling – Children will be explicitly taught statutory spellings
2. through morphology, etymology and other creative ideas. Children will also have a selection of words to learn each week at home, which they will be tested on each Monday. We do encourage that you test or practice these spellings at home as this will further consolidate your children’s knowledge of the English language. These spellings are essential for writing / spelling assessments that take place during the year.
3. Times tables – Year 3 children are expected to learn their 2,3,4,5,8 and 10 times tables, Year 4,5 and 6 up to 12 x 12. Knowledge of times tables form a vital foundation for many mathematical topics covered in the year.
4. Times Tables Games (maths-games.org)
5. Reading – Children are expected to read 5 x per week with an adult. Parents and carers are required to record the reading by writing in their reading records. 

​Homework projects / spelling / times tables: Activities and projects will be set half termly. Homework tasks consolidate learning taking place in school. Studies have shown that home learning can be extremely important in a child’s cognitive development.

The children will get more out of the homework projects if they apply themselves correctly and these are designed to encourage creativity. Children who rush their projects and do not spend an appropriate time on them will not gain the benefits of our homework policy.

Project homework tasks are for EVERY child to engage in. Choose one task to complete this half term and another to complete next half term. Please bring all homework into school on or before Monday 18th October so that it can be displayed and celebrated on Thursday 21st from 9-9.15 in the school hall, to which you are all welcome.

Thank you for the ongoing support with your child’s home learning,
Mrs Dickinson.
