Home Learning

Home Learning Information

We believe that children learn best when parents, the school and children work together in partnership and where a love of learning is fostered.
We also recognise and encourage children to take part in a range of after school activities and explore their own interests.

Since March 2020, home learning and homework has taken on a whole new meaning and we have adapted our approaches to meet this changing situation. We have invested in new technologies and platforms to enable children to access direct new learning, retrieval and fluency task.

If you have any questions or would like information or help in supporting your child’s learning at home, please get in touch.

Core Home Learning

• Reading: You should aim to read with/allow your child to read for at least 10 minutes a day. Try to make reading part of everyday life – reading signs, menus, recipes etc.
  
  
• Spelling: This is taught in class; staff may send specific work if your child would benefit from this; spelling information will be post on Class Dojo regularly.
  
  
• Fact Fluency: Times tables, number bonds: Regular practice as part of everyday activities. E.g. Stick post-it notes around the house with key facts – e.g. 6 + 4 =10, 3 x 5 = 15.
  
  
• Theme home learning: There will be learning ideas provided for each themes; children who bring in work will be able to share their work.
  
  
• Other homework: From time-to-time, additional homework/ tasks will be sent home relating to an aspect of work your child is doing. E.g. research or to bring something in or to complete some pre-reading.
  
  
• For additional home learning – the Oak National academy has lessons and work for every subject for every year group.   https://classroom.thenational.academy

Theme Home Learning

Each theme the children learn about has a home learning sheet to go alongside this. We encourage children to look through this with their parents and complete some or all of the activities which typically cover maths, English, arts and craft, history and geography and other research based learning opportunities.

Children who wish to take their learning further can also complete one of the Pupil Expert projects.

You can download the homework sheets by clicking  here, visiting your year group, and selecting ‘Home Learning Grids”.
