Homework

Here is our homework offer for the year.

It is always a polarising subject with some families wanting loads and some none!

We are often asked how parents can help their children at home.

Three of the most important areas are:

  • sharing a love of books and reading
  • making sure your child is fluent in times tables by year 4
  • talking to your child and developing social skills.

We are taking advantage of the benefits of technology in this area and have invested in a range of approaches.

Times Table Rock Stars -Times Tables Rock Stars is an award-winning maths learning platform where children can practise their times tables like a rock star! Numbots -is all about every child achieving the “triple win” of understanding, recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction, so that they move from counting to calculating.

Picturenews - teaches children about current affairs and encourges discussion.

Boom Reader - a digital way for parents and carers to record their child's reading.

LBQ - Learning by Questions (LBQ) is an online library of teacher-authored, customisable KS2 resources and questions aligned to the National Curriculum and other schemes.
