One short section each day  Reading Please find 10 minutes daily to read with your child. (Studies show this has the single biggest impact on a child’s attainment) Parents to date and sign on sheet.  Maths Mental maths – timed practice 4x per week.  Spelling Look, cover, write, check on sheet. Homework is self-marked, teachers will check it but not mark and return. If children do not bring in homework, they will be asked to go to ‘homework club’ at lunchtime. CLIC tests will be returned the following week so that parents can support.

 Daily reading with and to your child. Question them on their understanding of the book.  Encourage times tables practice regularly. Little and often is the key!  Consider buying your child a watch and referring to the time at home.  Involve your child in the use of money whilst shopping.  Encourage high standards of writing when your child writes at home. We only accept their best in school.  Practise some phase spelling words – these are the words that children are expected to know by the end of the year.
