Homework

Homework is set every Friday and is due in on Wednesday. 

Hello everyone, after working with the children this first week, it is clear that reading, writing and maths are going to be huge targets. I will be setting weekly homework tasks that will link closely to the work we are doing in class and that will target specific areas across all three subjects.

As parents and carers, your support is vital and so gratefully appreciated. So I ask, beg and plead with you all to do your best to attempt some or all the tasks set each week, as this will help to support your child's progress and overall attainment over the coming weeks and months.

Thank you

Parents Tasks - Please follow the instructions on the Seesaw signing in sheet and the Reading Eggs signing in sheet. I want to make sure we are all ready and logged in for future homework tasks to be set over the coming weeks. 

Task One- Maths Sheet (which has been sent home) - Can the children please practice their number formation using the sheet. They can firstly, tracing with their fingers and then can use a pencil to form the number correctly. 

Task Two- Writing My Name - I would like the children to practice writing their first name at least 2 or 3 times a day. As parents, can you support and encourage your child to:

• Form letters correctly and in the right direction (especially the letter 'a' if that is a letter within their name)
• Place a large, capital letter at the beginning of their name
• Make sure ascending letters (b,d, h, l, k, t, f) are tall
• Make sure descending letters (g, j, p, y) are below the line 

Task Three- Reading - All the children have now been assessed and have been given coloured level books and Phonic reading books that are linked to their phonics groups in school. Please aim to read with your child at least 3 times a week.

Also, ask the pupils specific questions while they are reading, such as:

Q: Who are the main characters so far?

Q: Where is the story set?

Q: Who are they with or Where are they going?

Q: What do you think will happen next? Why?

Q: What has happened so far in the story?

Q: How do you think the story will end?
