HOMEWORK
(updated for Summer term)
We will no longer be using the SeeSaw online platform for weekly homework.
A homework task will be set on a Monday and will now be on paper (this will usually be maths). Homework should be completed by the following Monday to the standard expected in class.
Miss Fenlon will be running Homework Club by invitation only as we have a limited number of ipads for use. Homework Club will take place straight after school on Wednesdays and finishes at 4.15 pm.
A spellings list will be given out each Tuesday which will link to our phonics and SPaG sessions this term. We will test the spellings each Tuesday that we learnt the previous week.
To continue the great phonics work you did in Year 1, you will have a piece of homework in your Reading Buddy bag that needs to be completed each week. This will also be set on a Thursday. Every term we will have a class treat for pupils who complete their Reading Buddy tasks. The task will be a short reading activity to get you prepared for your Year 2 comprehension later in the Year. Be sure to complete each task! It will really help your learning!
It is also expected that pupils will be reading at least 3 times a week at home and this should be logged in their Reading Record. It makes a huge difference in the progress children make across the curriculum if they read at home! A Star Reader will be chosen each week from those who have read at least 3 times out of school that week and we will also have a reading raffle. Hopefully all pupils will be our Star Reader at some point this year!
I will be keeping a record of homework completed. If any pupil is having difficulty completing homework let me know and we will do whatever we can to sort it out. Homework and home reading really do help with the progress pupils make each year in school and if we work together all of the Marvellous Meerkats can have a great Year 2 and make good progress.
