Homework expectations:
In preparation for the children being ‘High School Ready’ homework will be planned in the following way:
- Weekly times tables test to be marked in class - this will be on a WEDNESDAY.
- Children have received their 10-minute test revision guides which will form the basis of this homework. They will have one for English and one for maths. Please ensure that children have a go at all the activities in the 10-minute test and feel free to guide them, should they need some help. PLEASE CAN YOU GO THROUGH THESE WITH YOUR CHILDREN AND MARK THEM - ANSWERS ARE IN THE BACK. We will clarify any queries that the children may have ON A FRIDAY so children MUST bring them into school on a Friday morning (this will be monitored).
- Spellings – The children will have weekly spellings tests ON A MONDAY based on spelling patterns and a list of statutory Y5/Y6 words. Following the test in class, words that the children will need to learn again will be recorded in their spelling books and we ask that you revise these with your child at home.
- TTRS - this will be used as part of the homework and we expect children to be accessing this regularly. A minimum of 20 minutes per week.
- Reading – Please use BoomReader to record the reading you have been doing at home - THIS IS MONITORED IN SCHOOL.
- Homework diaries are an important tool for the children to become independent and high school ready. These will be given to the children when they start Year 6. Please ensure that they are brought into school EVERY DAY BUT ARE SIGNED BEFORE FRIDAY. Children will be writing their new homework, spellings, tables etc in there too so please ensure that they bring them in. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THESE ARE IN ON A FRIDAY AS WE WILL LOOK AT THESE FOR ANY PARENT QUERIES.
