Parents can make an enormous
contribution to the home-school partnership by supporting homework activities.
A quiet learning session at home, five evenings a week, of 15 minutes at Key
Stage One, increasing to 20 and then 30 minutes at Key Stage Two, is
beneficial to every child. The children in Key Stage 1
will select a book to bring home every day. Sometimes this will be a book from
our reading scheme that they have just completed. From the middle of Year 1
they will receive spellings to learn, ready for a test each week. During the
Spring Term the children bring home maths games some weekends for you to play
together. Each term you will be informed of the topic that the children will
be following so that you can talk to them about their work in school and take
them to relevant places of interest. In Key Stage 2 the children
continue to bring home spellings and number activities every week. Each
weekend they will be encouraged to borrow a book from school so that the habit
of reading is maintained and parents can continue to support their child's
reading progress. At any time the teacher may ask the children to undertake
some research into a given topic or to bring books and artefacts into school.
As in the early years, you will receive a termly letter giving details of the
topic to be covered, to help you encourage your child to find out more by
visiting the library or by taking them on visits. When the
children reach Years 5 and 6 they are given additional, specific, weekly
homework tasks These will begin to prepare them for the routines of secondary
education.
