Homework

Homework is optional and the tasks to complete are below.

A list of spellings will be sent home to practise. In KS2 they will have a written test the following Friday. There will also be an optional spelling sheet for KS2.

We will also expect the children to log onto Numbots and/or TT Rockstars to complete some maths fluency practice.

Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice. 

This will be sent out on Class Dojo by your class teacher on Fridays.
