Homework Expectations

Spellings  

Spellings are handed out each Friday; the following Friday the children will write some dictated sentences in class using some of those words. They will not be given a mark. Children should bring in their Spelling book each Friday. We want children to use the correct spellings in their work, not just know them for a test, so practising little and often is far better than cramming the night before!

Reading

Children are provided with Reading Records and are expected to read 5 times per week for around 20 minutes a time. This will help them to develop their vocabulary and understanding of how to write and communicate well. It will also help them to develop strong comprehension and understanding, while hopefully developing a love of English. Reading records should be handed in every day so that we can monitor children’s reading at home.

Timestables

As this year the children will be expected to complete the Multiplication Check towards the end of the academic year, we recommend that they practise their times tables weekly.  We also encourage the children to use TTRockstars to practise their times tables. Their sign in information can be found in the front of their reading record. Times Tables Rockstars is avaliable as an app or online.

PE

PE sessions for this term are on the class termly newsletter. The children will also run the Daily Mile twice a week. For PE, children should wear their Somers Park coloured Castle T-shirts with black shorts and well-fitting outdoor trainers. They may also wear the black Somers Park PE hoodie if they wish. They must have trainers in school every day.
