Supporting Home learning
FRED - Families Reading EveryDay
We want all children to be confident, fluent readers so reading everyday is a must. Our aim is for all our children to be reading for at least 15 minutes everyday.
When children are developing their reading skills and fluency, we ask them to read the book assigned to them by their teacher and as they develop their fluency, they can choose the books they want to read for pleasure. When your child has completed their reading each day, they tick their Fred Book mark and bring it to school each day to show their teacher.
Homework
Each week, your child will be assigned homework on a Friday to completed in their homework book and brought back to school on a Wednesday for the teacher to acknowledge. The homework tasks will be shared with you on either Seesaw (EYFS and KS1) or Google Classroom (KS2)
The homework will include weekly spellings, phonics, maths, reading comprehension and grammar, and are based on what your child has been learning in school that week.
