Home Learning:
We set carefully chosen homework to support your child in developing fluency in key areas.
- Reading to support their progress and attainment in all areas of the curriculum. Pupils who read for pleasure almost always achieve more than their peers who do not across the wider curriculum, not just in English.
- Times Tables recall, where we aim for a recall of 3 seconds to support with the challenges of the SATs arithmetic 30-minute timed test.
- Spelling fluency, to support with your child with their written communication and to prepare them for the requirements of the SATs writing and grammar, punctuation and spelling test.
To support them with this, each week pupils are expected to complete:
- 20x rounds of Times Tables Rock Stars
- 400 points worth of practise on Spelling Frame
- Minimum of 15 minutes daily reading at home 7 times a week
