Homework

All homework is handed out on a Thursday and due in the following Monday, unless specified. Everyone will have a separate Maths homework book as well as a Learning Log homework book.

• Daily reading – at least three times per week
• Maths – to be completed in homework books or the teacher may set My Maths to be completed on the computer
• 5² mental maths
• Learning Logs (during the autumn term the children will have at least two weeks to complete them)
• Spelling – to be set on the online Spelling Jotter https://www.csgvillageschool.org/homework-1/ and checked by the teacher, there will then be a spelling test that goes into their homework books each Wednesday. Please ensure you review your child’s progress and continue to work on any spelling corrections.

Please ensure that you write a comment in your child’s homework book if you have any questions or comments; this will let us know how your child is getting on.
