Home Learning - Reading, Spellings and Times Tables
For more detailed information please click these links:
Our Home Learning:
Check out the 'Home Learning Activities' for this half-term. There are CORE weekly tasks to do (reading and spellings) plus a range of other activities to complete. Remember to fill in your 'Reading Booklog Bookmark' each time you read to an adult
Year 3 & Year 4
'Fluency activities' have been allocated to you, to support your learning in school. These activities need to be practised and written in your Home Learning Book (& remember all your logins, usernames and passwords are in there too!). You can find a copy of the Home Learning sheet, fluency resources and access to any weblinks you may need to complete your home learning in the Y34 Home Learning Zone at the bottom of this webpage.
We appreciate that you all lead busy lives and have tried to make the home learning purposeful, manageable and flexible. Please can we ask that Home Learning Books are handed in at the end of each half-term (you don't need to hand it in each week).
Year 5 & Year 6
Log in to Mirodo (online) to find out your Home Learning tasks (we have an online report of all the tasks that are completed) and learn the maths fluency facts that we have given you. You can find all the links and resource sheets in the Y56 Home Learning Zone at the bottom of this webpage.
For Year 6 - the CGP Targeted Question Books (Maths, Grammar & Reading Comprehension) have arrived and been handed out (plus you have CGP STUDY BOOKS to help you learn). The more you complete, the easier the KS2 SATs tests will be, and your transition to Secondary School should be easier too. You also need to practise the Y34/Y56 Compulsory spelling words
REMINDER OF the CORE Weekly Tasks:
Spellings:
Practise your current 'set' of 5 spelling words from your 'Super Spelling' booklet, which will be tested through the week. You can look at all of our Super Spelling booklets at home by clicking the spelling link at the top of this page.
Reading:
Each time an adult listens to you read, please record this on your Booklog Bookmark (and tick your home learning sheet) - these will add up towards achieving your 'Rainbow Reading Certificates' - ALL reading can be recorded not just your school reading book.
We encourage Parents & Carers to listen to your child reading for at least 5 minutes each day, or as many times as you can each week.
WHY DON'T YOU... Check out all the eBooks on the Activelearn website.
