Homework
In Red Kite Class, our homework routine for new homework given out and checked is as follows:
Monday: Spelling homework - A new homework given to be completed for Friday. Spelling quiz on Fridays this year. Children have the opportunity to reach a new challenge level on Fridays!
Tuesday: Maths homework - This will focus on acquisition of quick recall maths skills (times tables, multiples, factors, squared numbers, cubed numbers, etc). Times tables and other recent maths skills will be quizzed on Fridays each week. Children have the opportunity to reach a new challenge level on Fridays!
Wednesday: no new homework given out - this is an extra practise evening for reading, maths facts (times tables, multiples, factors, squared numbers, cubed numbers, etc) and spellings to be practised.
Thursday: Bug Club reading and/or chapter book reading. Reading log should be filled in this evening. Reading logs will be checked on Fridays.
Friday: Topic homework - homework menu for this given at the start of the half term and brought in at the end of the six week period.
As our year 5 and 6 pupils are increasingly independent, they should organise their homework themselves. To assist with this, please ensure that you check and sign your child's homework and reading log at least once weekly.
If there are any changes or adaptations to our homework schedule, pupils will be informed and will make a note of this in their homework diaries.
