@ Home Learning

@ Home Learning Expectations

The @ Home Learning book will come home on the first day of the week (usually Monday) and should be handed in on the last day (usually Friday).  The @ Home Learning book should travel to school in children’s book bags each day so we can add extra spelling words or other notices during the week. 

Reading

Read something every night!  It doesn’t matter whether it is a school book, instructions for a game, library books or a newspaper article as long as you read something and discuss it with someone at home.  When you talk about it think about what the characters were thinking, what your favourite part was and why you liked it, what do you think will happen next and what gave you that idea and are there any similarities between the what you have read and your life.  Write down what you read each night in the table on the @ Home Learning sheet. 

Spelling

Students will have up to five spelling words a week to learn for a test at the end of the week.  These words will come from draft writing, essential spelling lists, current topic word lists and other lists as appropriate.  We will be focusing on learning these words at school as well during our reading programme.

Maths

Maths work will come home as appropriate and will link to current classroom learning including basic facts and number knowledge.
