Homework is given in a variety of forms: a termly inquiry project, spellings, phonics and maths. Pupils also have work assigned on TTRS and Spell Shed which they can do additional learning on.
For inquiry homework, children use the knowledge harvest from the beginning of the term to create a project of their choice about their class Central Idea. Children can take the inquiry in any way they see fit and produce work in any format that suits them. We love that this has become a collaborative home learning project at home involving parents.
On Mondays in KS1, as well as a reading book going home, pupils also take a reading sheet which includes phoneme practice and word reading. These will be based around the focus sounds in class.
Spellings for the term are sent home at the start of every term. Spelling tests take the form of a dictation exercise each week. On top of this, children are to focus on developing their confidence in times tables or number bonds through https://ttrockstars.com/ or https://play.numbots.com/#/intro.
Home reader books are sent home regularly with a reading record book which serves as a dialogue with parents.
