HOMEWORK
Weekly Homework
All children in Key Stage 2 receive the following homework:
- A minimum of 15 minutes TT Rockstars (A minimum of 1 attempt on Studio).
- A minimum of 15 minutes Spellings (Ed Shed or Spelling Sheet)
- A minimum of 30 minutes reading (it would be extremely beneficial to your child if you could listen to them read for 10 minutes each week).
Should you have any worries or concerns regarding your child's homework, throughout the year, then please do not hesitate to contact Mr Walmsley.
Homework Club
NEW FOR 2023: There will be two homework clubs in Autumn Term 1. There will be the usual Monday after school club which runs from 3.20pm to 4.20pm and as part of a trial, there will be a Tuesday morning club which runs from 8.00am to 8.45am. More details about both clubs will be given before the weekend of September 9th.
KEY STAGE TWO READING AT HOME CERTIFICATES
As part of our commitment to make sure that children read as much as possible, the staff in key stage 2 have come up with a uniform approach to awarding certificates. It is hoped that this will give reading a boost and encourage children to read more frequently at home.
EVERY child can find something they enjoy reading, it's just a case of finding what genre is right for them!
The certificates are as follows:
25 - Bronze / 50 - Silver / 75 - Gold / 100 - Platinum / 150 - Platinum Plus / 200 - Diamond / 300 - Commended / 400 - Outstanding.
Should you child reach the magical 500, then Mrs George will buy them a book of their choice.
