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.
Tuesday: Maths homework - This term will focus on acquisition of quick recall maths skills. Times tables and other recent maths skills will be quizzed on Fridays each week.
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.
Each homework is set with one full week to complete - with the exception of spelling which is Monday to Friday weekly. Yearly and ongoing additional homework to this is yearly spelling lists (year 5/6 targeted spelling word list) and times tables practice.
As our year 5 and 6 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 diaries.
