Homework will be set every Friday and must be returned the following Wednesday. This will usually consist of a Maths and English task (spelling and sentences).

Parents/Carers, please check and sign your child's homework.

Reading for at least 15 minutes each day, 5 times per week, will also be expected as part of your child's homework. It is important to support your child with daily reading as this has a huge impact on their understanding, imagination, creativity and learning across all subjects. Children are allocated books each week on BUG CLUB, in addition to this they are encouraged to read a book from home. In Year 3, it is important to do a mixture of independent reading and reading with an adult and for your child to independently record their opinions about the book in their Reading Record. 

Parents/Carers, please sign your child's reading record each day. 

Thank you for your continued support.
