Homework

How you can help

Home learning- Children will have a number of opportunities to continue their engaging topic learning with you at home. Each time homework is allocated it will include a must do literacy and maths task to consolidate skills taught in school in which you may like to support them if they ask for help. The other activities are optional however these will encourage the children to apply their exciting knowledge to the real world. During class time, they will have opportunities to share their findings with peers to help us all develop our learning! 

Home Reading - In Year Three children are expected to read regularly and record this with a parent signature on their colourful bookmark. Reading 25 times each half term will see children rewarded with a certificate.

Ideas to make reading fun and interesting:

• Try reading fiction and non-fiction - even leaflets from a day trip or a comic! 
•  Act out how a character behaves
• Hot seating - Your child can pretend to be a character and you ask them questions
• Draw a picture of a part of the story they have read 
• Create an alternative ending 
• Recommend a book for friends to read or write a book review
• Look at the pictures and notice details- what does it tell you? 
• Retell a familiar story in your own words
