Homework for all pupils will be set on Seesaw. If you have any questions about a piece of homework, please speak to us. We are happy to help and support you where needed. You or your child could message us on Seesaw should you need help. Parental comments are also very helpful for us – they inform us about how much support a child has needed with a piece of work and what elements they found easy or hard. You can also tell us how long they spent on their homework and how you feel they are doing.
Completed work should be submitted via Seesaw on time for staff to review.

Homework  – Key Stage 1

  • A​s reading underpins all curriculum areas, it is expected that your child reads frequently at home to an adult. Your child will be given a reading book linked to their phonics level and our phonics scheme.
  • Every Friday a phonics sheet/pre-recorded phonics learning is set for parents/carers to support their child to revise the learning from the week.
  • Weekly maths homework will be set on a Friday and will be due in the following Wednesday.  Homework will alternate weekly between Numbots and a maths task based around fluency, reasoning and or problem solving to consolidate in class learning.
  • English homework will be set on a fortnightly basis, it will be given on a Monday and will be due in, a week on Wednesday (9 days later).  The focus will be on grammar and punctuation.

We expect children to take pride in the presentation of their homework, as they do their work in school. Work should always be completed in pencil and a ruler should be used to underline dates and title, or to draw straight lines.

Homework - Key Stage 2
