Topic Homework:
Each half term, a grid is sent out within each key stage which links with the topic, their learning and our school value focus for the following half term. Within each key stage the pupils are recommended to complete a number of their chosen activities and each completed activity is rewarded with dojo points. At the end of the half term all classes showcase this homework to share and celebrate the children’s hard work and efforts. These homework grids will be available on our website in the 'Children' section.
Home Readers:
Children are asked to read a minimum of 4 times per week for at least 15 minutes. We ask that the children's reading records are signed and handed in on a daily basis to be stamped and dojo points given out. Children who complete this will gain an extra 10 minute breaktime on a Friday afternoon.
