Homework KS2 Expectations and Help

Homework is handed out every Friday and is to be brought back in to school the following Friday so it can be marked. The children have been given a folder for there three sheets. In addition, they have been given a squared maths book in case they need space for working out.

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.

Spelling: Each week, we learn new spelling concepts in school. To help build knowledge and understanding, the children are given home learning tasks each Friday.

Timetables: Children are expected to practise their times tables every day. Each child has been provided with a unique login to Times Tables Rockstars.

Skills Sheets: To consolidate the maths and English concepts taught in school, we send maths and grammar/punctuation skills sheets home each Friday.

On occasion, there may be additional homework provided through our Google Classroom. All children have login details – for help with Google Classroom, please click here
