Homework
To consolidate their learning in school, children are expected to complete tasks at home. We appreciate life is really busy and therefore, we keep tasks small to maintain children's focus. Timings can be flexible to fit in with family life and it is hoped children enjoy building on what they have learnt at school. Children in UKS2 start to develop their independence when it comes to homework.
- Reading - In UKS2, it is hoped children develop their independence and begin to read more independently at home. Children learn to pick texts based on their interests and build up their reading stamina for longer novels. Please support your child in this part of their reading development by asking them about what they are reading and visiting the library regularly to explore a wider range of texts. To help develop their reading stamina and enjoyment of longer texts, you could read some chapters to them to support their independent reading.
- Times Tables - Little and often can go a long way here and all we ask is that children complete 5 minutes of Timestables Rock Stars 5 days a week at home. It might not seem a lot but even this amount of time on a regular basis can have a big impact.
