Homework

NOTE: HOMEWORK WILL BE NOTED AT THE FOOT OF THIS PAGE EVERY FRIDAY

Each week, on Friday, class teachers will send home homework online or in physical form. Due to the effective, efficient and valuable learning online, we will continue to send some homework by uploading it onto Purple Mash, when appropriate. Other weeks will be in the form of a physical homework book in which pupils must complete their tasks and return their books. We appreciate some families will have preferences for both formats and therefore have agreed a combination of both options will support everyone.  

Homework is a great way to top up the learning that has taken place within the classroom. In most cases, staff will send home work related to the topic areas taught within the week or areas that have been covered prior to it being sent home. 

Within Year 5 & 6 there will be a weekly SPAG (Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) challenge or a Maths challenge. Creative homework tasks may also be sent home during some weeks or a table of creative challenges may be uploaded for children to complete at their leisure throughout a half term (often linked to a COJO famous explorer). 

We encourage Year 5 & 6 to be reading their home reading books for at least 20 minutes a day as well as regularly practicing spellings throughout the week (found in the spellings tab). Guided Reading in Class 4 is now getting more challenging, and of course the children are expected to read more and answer in more detail - it is their responsibility to take this home with them to complete if necessary. 

We encourage the children to regularly log into their Times Table Rockstar account (using the log in details sent home) and revise their Times Tables regularly. 

Please contact school if you have any questions in relation to anything mentioned above.   

Keep up the hard work at home Class 4 :)
