Homework and Reporting 11 Homework is an excellent window into your child’s learning. By supporting them with their tasks, you also demonstrate that learning is important to you and you share the school’s values of ‘work hard’ and ‘get involved’. There are two parents’ evenings during the academic year - one in the Autumn term and one in the Spring term. Additionally, written reports with next steps for learning are given at the end of the Autumn and Summer terms. Reception will begin with children being given a sound each day to practise at home as well as a picture book pack to share. By the end of the Autumn term, your child will be bringing books home every day to read. Later in the year, Reception will have a short Phonic and Spelling homework activity each weekend, along with an open-ended Maths problem-solving activity. In addition, there are regular opportunities for research projects to be carried out and presented by the pupils. In Years 1 and 2, children will be asked to read daily at home and new reading packs will be provided on a regular basis. At the end of each week, three pieces of homework will be put into book bags to be returned by the following Thursday. A Maths activity or game will be in the Maths folder. The sounds learned during the week, and activities to reinforce this, will be in the Phonics folder. Also, there will be the ‘red word’ spellings to be reviewed for a weekly test. In addition, we provide special research projects each term which give the children an opportunity to explore a new topic and teach their class through a presentation. Reporting Homework
