Homework expectations in Kite Class:

Maths

Y4: TTRockstar practice as frequently as possible. We recommend 10 mins per day. Mix of game modes and then focusing on 'Soundchecks' as we get further into the year. Y4s will be practising these daily in class. 

Y5: Maths.co.uk - I will set a different set of assessment style questions on what we are learning about in class or a target area following an assessment. I'd recommend completing in chunks, completing a few questions a day. If a question can't be completed - move on. The report will show me what needs to be targeted. 

Y6: Maths.co.uk - we will start the year completing these assessment style questions. If a question can't be completed - move on. The report will show me target areas. We will then move on to more SATs focused homework. Similarly, focusing on a 'little and often' approach. 

Reading - We want our KS2 pupils to be reading for pleasure every single day at home. 25-30 minutes a day is ideal and a great way to finish and wind down for the day. This could be independently, with an adult, or having discussions about a text.

Spelling - Spelling books will go back out each Friday with a new set of spellings that relate to the spelling lessons through the week. Books to be handed in at any point during the week - Thursday the latest - so that they can be sent home with the new words.

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.
