Homework
Who loves improving our super skills? We do! We know that practice makes perfect, and so all the homework we give is to help you have extra practice at learning your new skills. (It even helps your parents and carers have a peek and what you are learning, and it is good for giving them a chance to talk about your learning too!)
Homework on Google Classroom – given out each Friday
We give you 3 tasks for homework every week:
- A piece of Maths homework
- A reading task or a grammar task OR a punctuation task – 1 per week
- A list of spellings to learn off by heart
Because we know you are very busy outside school, we give you until the following Wednesday at 8pm to submit your work – you can submit it any day or time up until then. We even have homework club to help!
Remember, we don’t like wasting paper, so we make our homework “print-free.” You can do your work on google docs or google slides, or even edit the pdf, or you can write it on paper and upload a photo.
Sometimes we will give you tasks to do on TTRS, ActiveLearn or LearningbyQuestions.
If you are not sure about a task, send your teacher a message and they will help you.
Don’t forget, we don’t give homework on the last day before the holidays!
Reading Homework
Remember you also need to read at home at least 3 times per week, although we love it when you read more than that! Don’t forget to ask your grown up to sign your diary, as teachers check your diary whenever they hear you read, and they also check it every Friday to see if you have earned your green or blue sticker! Fingers crossed, by doing your homework you might even win the class raffle and choose a book from the vending machine!
You can also do the Treasure Book challenge if you wish, and join Online Book Club. Read a good book, then write a review or upload book review vlogs onto the Book Club classroom.
Spellings Homework
Don’t forget to learn your spellings each week, practise at home so that you are ready for your test each Friday! You also want to learn the spellings off by heart so you have a chance at winning the famous Squirrels Spelling Bee!
Bonus Homework
We know some of you love doing extra projects, and some of you even go places to help you learn about the topics you have in school. You are always welcome do hand in extra projects to your teacher. You never know, you might even earn a core value tick!
