Homework Expectations:

Daily reading - Reading is an essential part of what we do here in Kestrels. Reading for pleasure is a brilliant way to encourage that beautiful love of reading. 25-30 minutes a day is good and a fabulous way to relax. They can do this on their own or with someone to read to.

maths.co.uk (one test a week) & TT Rockstars - When looking forward to life, maths is an integral part of the curriculum that allows us to access the world around us. Our TT Rockstars practice help us keep our times tables fresh in our minds after the Times Tables Check in Year 4 and the tests set on maths.co.uk help keep our brains aware of multiple different questions style and help us get deeper into the maths by making us apply the knowledge to new scenarios.

Spelling and Etymology Task (weekly) - In Kestrels, we are looking at not only improving our spelling work but also looking at the history of our language and the origins of words. By using this knowledge, we will be able to decode and reason what new words might mean because we know where in History these words have come from.

Spelling homework focuses on deliberate practice and oracy skills. Please use the 'Look, say, cover, write, check & correct' method when practising spellings. It is important to check and correct for any errors, we expect children in years 3-6 to be self-checking independently but please support them if necessary. Class teachers will also double check when marking and any errors will be marked with a dot. Corrections can be made on the sheet or any adjacent page.
