Dear Parents/Carers, 

Thank you for supporting your children with their regular reading, spellings and maths work at home.

Regular reading in particular is really helping the children to access their learning more independently, apply new vocabulary and articulate some super ideas across all areas of the curriculum.

Homework expectations for children in Rowan Class: 

Homework - Reading

Please read daily with your child and write in the Reading Diary.

This can be your child reading to you and reading their decodable reading book or a free choice of another book.

It is important that your child can read their banded reading book 90% confidently and independently to help with their understanding of what they are reading. This will mean they will need to read it 3 or 4 times.

Children will be given two books each week.  They will need to read the books 3 or 4 times on separate days in that week.

Homework - Spellings

Spellings will be given each Friday and tested weekly on Friday.

There are two spelling groups.

ELS spellings that follow the ELS Phonics Curriculum and Purple Mash Spellings that follow the Year 2 National Curriculum.

Purple Mash spellings will be on Purple Mash and a yearly overview can be found in the spelling tile.

ELS spellings can be found in the spelling tile.

Homework - Maths

Please practise number bonds of 5, 10 and 20.

We will also be practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.  This will lead into the times tables for 2s, 5s and 10s and beyond.

Homework - Numbots and TTRockstars

Please remember there are activities to complete on Numbots and TT Rockstars. 

The login details are in the reading diaries.

If you can not locate the login details, just ask and we will re-print them. 

There are interactive games, activities, challenges and tasks.  These will increase in difficulty at the level when your child shows competency in each activity.   

Please logon and play!

Homework - Purple Mash

Other optional Homework will be on Purple Mash.
