HOMEWORK
In Year 3/ 4, children will bring home weekly Maths homework, which will reinforce learning that has already taken in place in the classroom. This work will be sent home on a Thursday and is to be returned on a Monday. If they complete their maths homework each week, they will receive an extra smiley.
Children will also be expected to read at home five times a week and complete two reading activities in their reading journals. The reading is to be recorded in the reading record book and the activities are to be completed in the reading journal. Doing both of these will earn them 2 extra smileys.
Spellings to practice are recorded in the reverse of the reading journal. These spellings follow the pattern or rule being taught in class each week. Children do not take part in a spelling test but they do carry out a range of activities to reinforce their learning.
During the half term holidays, children will be set half term projects to complete, based on their learning in class. Completing this will earn the children up to 3 smileys each. In the summer, our holiday homework usually consists of a Maths, English and a Topic – based activity.
For each activity completed, three smileys are earned with a bonus smiley for completing all three.
Please remember to check the Dojo page for regular updates and photos about what your child is learning in class and for whole school information.
