6. Home learning Reading at home – THE JOY OF READING! Maths homework – 20 minutes minimum every fortnight. All children who know their tables will find maths easier. Spellings sent home every week are based on the phonics graphemes we are learning. (For Phases 5 and 6) Phonics homework sound hunt. (Phases 3 and 4)

7. Maths Homework Home learning is not a competition. It is about supporting each individual in the best way possible, so that they can achieve their personal best. The value of 30 minutes additional work will support your child hugely with their progress and learning. Homework will always be linked to the topic we are covering and what I am sending, they will be able to do independently. It will not be new work. If they are truly stuck or become distressed and you are unsure how to help, please stop and talk to me asap.
