Homework expectations in Kite Class:

Maths - Numbots and TTRockstars practice daily. Aiming for at least 10 mins of regular practice per day. Year 4s focusing on TTRockstars and Year 3s ensuring that their Numbots is fluent before moving onto TTRockstars.

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.
