Home Learning

Home Learning information.
 
Reading
Each week, on a Wednesday or Thursday, children will be loaned a book from our reading scheme. Please send a book bag to carry these to and from school.
We would be grateful if you could:
  • encourage your child to read these books with you at home
  • make a comment or sign your child's reading record to let us know that they have read and how they managed
  • send their reading books and reading records with them to school every Wednesday in a book bag.
As well as a reading scheme book, your child will have free choice of a book from the school library each week. 
 
Spellings
Spellings will be set and tested each Friday and can be found here. Please encourage your child to practise these regularly – little and often is usually the most effective method for long-term learning.
 
Due to the way we teach reading, sometimes different children may have different spellings at different times! Your child should know which spelling group they are in. If they aren't sure, drop me a message and I'll let you know.
 
Homework
Each Friday, your child will usually be given a short home learning task to be completed before the following Friday. This can be found here.
 
As well as this, please practise times tables and number facts regularly with your child at home. By the end of Year 2, children are expected to know the number facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
 
Online Resources
As part of our blended learning approach (face-to-face and online), we often use these online resources:
