Strong teaching, planning and assessment in the classroom, good supportive teamwork between home and school, and time to play, chat and relax with their families and friends. Young childen thrive on attention and learning through play. We have a low homework load in the Primary, and instead encourage families to talk with and read to their children at home, sharing quality time together. Mandatory Homework 1. Daily reading at home Children must read to an adult for 15 minutes or more each day. This could be Bug Club, our online reading platform, or one of the print books children will take home each week. You can access Bug Club Reading and Phonics here: www.activelearnprimary.co.uk. Logins are in the format FirstnameInitial (so Samantha Hill would be SamanthaH), with password GeorgeMitchell and school code 6cl7. 2. Weekly Maths Skills Practice Children must rehearse their maths skills at home at least once a week for 30 minutes, using Mathletics (our online Maths Skills platform) and additional Times Tables practice. You can access Mathletics here. Logins are published on Class Dojo or your teacher will be happy to remind you. Suggested Curriculum Project Each Half Term, children are given a suggested practical project to complete with their families. Children love working together with their parents and projects are proudly displayed at school. Optional Homework We know that some children and some adults LOVE extra homework! Anything extra you do at home will be welcomed and checked by your child’s teacher.
