Homework KS2 Expectations and Help

Homework is set every Friday and is to be completed by the following Friday. Our homework is set on the secure, online portal of Emile which can be accessed here. Your child should have a log in containing their details to access Emile. If they have misplaced it, please let me know and I will send a replacement.

The tasks set will be marked as important on their Emile task page. Once these tasks are completed, the children can explore the other games and amend their character.
It will include:

Spelling task – each week we learn a new rule and this task will consolidate and embed their spelling knowledge
Maths task – supports the current topic of Maths to aid their understanding
Grammar/Punctuation task – helps to embed newly learnt skills and build on their recall of old ones.

Our homework will concentrate on building confidence and extending ability across key curriculum areas. Most of the time homework will be set on Emile but other homework may be set as an alternative when we learn certain topics. This information will be communicated through Marvellous me and Arbor. If you require a paper alternative for homework, please let me know.

Reading: Children are expected to read out loud to an adult every day. Parents/carers are requested to sign home reading records to confirm reading. We ask children to bring their reading book and reading log in to school every day.

Timestables: Even though timestables will not always be set as a homework task. Children are encouraged to practise their times tables every week.

If paper copies are needed, please let school know.

Year 3 have PE every Monday and Wednesday this half term. On PE days, children should come to school wearing their full PE kit. Details of our PE expectations can be found the PE curriculum page.
