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 and old checked. Spelling quiz on Fridays this year.
Tuesday: Maths homework - a new homework given and old homework checked.
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/ reading log checked and new books assigned to Bug Club if necessary.
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.
Each homework is set with one full week to complete - with the exception of spelling which is Monday to Friday weekly. Homework will be checked on the same day, one week after it is set. Yearly additional homework to this is year 5/6 targeted spelling words and times tables practice.
As our year 5 pupils are increasingly independent, they organise their homework themselves. To assist with this, please ensure that you check 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 folders.
