1/2 Homework and Subject Learning
Reading homework
The children take books home each week and will have the opportunity to change them on their reading day. In Year 1 these books are fully decodable and in line with their phonics learning at school. The level of the books they take home, should not be too challenging as the content has been covered in their phonics lessons. This is to allow them to apply the phonics they have learnt and to focus on reading with fluency, expression and understanding. In Year 2, the variety of books widens and the focus is more on improving their fluency and on deepening their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Please ensure that the children keep their reading books and reading record books in their book bags all week, so that they are available when needed. We will be rewarding house points for each day of reading recorded and signed by an adult. This can also include other books from home and from the library. Little and often is recommended!
Spellings homework
Each term the children will be given some key spellings to learn at home. These spellings will be linked to the phonics, spelling patterns and key words covered in their curriculum. Spelling overviews for this term are available to download below. A hard copy will also be sent home at the start of each term.
Maths homework
Maths homework is to complete the daily tasks (10mins) set on DoodleMaths. These tasks need to be completed independently by the children as the software adjusts the future tasks (either up or down) based on how they are managing. Please support your child in logging on daily. Aim for a minimum of 4 times a week. Each year group also has KIRFS (Key Instant recall facts) to learn each term in order to aid Mathematical fluency. For the focus for this term please see the downloads at the bottom of this page.
Topic homework
During the term it would be helpful if you spent some time reading and discussing our knowledge organisers (found at the bottom of this page). Please focus on any new vocabulary (glossary) and discuss current knowledge about the subject.
