Home Learning Menu – Homework due Monday 12 th October
It is expected that every child will read regularly at home (we hope 5 times a week) and this will be recorded in their reading record. Also that every child will visit Mathletics (www.mathletics.co.uk) at least once a week – sometimes there will be tasks set by the teacher, otherwise your child may choose activities.
Spelling and grammar activities will also be sent home to be completed in your child’s home spelling book. Please note that assessment of spelling is on how well your child applies their spelling knowledge to their written work, not how many words are spelt correctly in an isolated test.
In addition, we are encouraging children to choose from our home learning menu, their minimum diet should be at least one starter, one main and one dessert.
Obviously if your child is really hungry they may choose more than one activity from any of the sections – the desserts are particularly tasty and are a great chance for creativity or learning through experience.
Please hand in homework on paper (or photo of homework) so it may be glued into topic books.
