All homework, with the exception of spelling, is handed out on a Thursday and due in the following Monday, unless specified. Everyone will have three homework books: Learning Log; Maths and Spelling.

• Homework will be set using Google Classrooms from the start of this year. More information will be communicated as the system is shown to the children.
• Daily reading – at least three times per week
• Maths – to be completed and submitted on Google Classrooms or MyMaths to be completed on the computer; 5² mental maths; and a weekly Times Tables focus.
• Learning Logs – the children will be given a half termly homework passport with six optional activities to complete during the half term. As each one is completed these can be submitted online and will be checked and marked regularly.
• Spelling – set and tested on a weekly basis. Please ensure you encourage your child to print out or copy out the words before practising them. Please help them to then work on any spelling corrections.
