Home Learning

We believe home learning should:

Develop an effective partnership between school and parents/carers
Consolidate, reinforce and extend skills and understanding across the curriculum
Exploit resources of learning, of all kinds, at home
Encourage pupils to develop confidence, self-discipline and motivation to study on their own
Help prepare older children for the requirements of secondary school

Phase	Home Learning Given
Foundation Stage	Nursery: Children borrow story books every week and have reading diaries to complete by parents. They are also given sight word flash cards to practise at home. Reception: Children take home a ‘target book’ with a weekend activity each Friday. They also take home a reading book or a story book. Parents are expected to comment on their reading in their target book. Sight word rockets are in their target books all the time and are ongoing for parents to practice with their children.
Years 1 & 2	Weekly spellings and something related to topic or science. Alternate weeks maths or English also. Children also have reading diaries to complete linked to what they are expected to read daily.
