Homework

Homework goes home on a Friday and is due back at school on Thursday.
Reading Logs are to be handed in on Monday morning - they will be ready to go home on Monday afternoon.

Remember detailed information has been provided in the form of an instruction sheet glued in the front of your child's Homework book.     

Make sure your child is reading every night and that they remember to fill out their Reading Log. At this age we expect the children to be taking responsibility for filling out their Reading Log, using the comments section to share their opinions about the reading material.  There are starter sentences in the Reading Log to help with this and I have discussed these with the children.  I will check Reading Logs on a Monday and will sign the the log so you know that it has been seen by me.  

Basic Facts are intended to be committed to memory so that they become instant knowledge rather than something that needs to be figured out. The sheet in the back of their Homework book is intended to cover the whole term.  Your child needs to focus on one column per week, as indicated on the grid in the front of their book.  Testing will take place on Fridays.
