Weekly and termly home learning (homework)

At Shirehampton Primary School we recognise that pupils who have spent a busy structured day at school need time to relax and unwind at home and have an opportunity to play. We believe that home learning activities should be set but should not promote resentment, friction and conflict. Home learning should be meaningful used to effectively consolidate and/or extend what is learned in school.

We hope that children will feel a sense of personal satisfaction in a task completed well and that their efforts will be recognised and praised both at home and at school. We appreciate parental support with this.

This approach aims to support children’s growing perception about their ability to complete a task outside the school environment. It also fosters the skills of independent learning necessary for future life.

Year 1 spellings

Year 1 Spellings will be stuck into Learning Logs each week for your child to practice. Please let your class teacher know if spellings/learning logs are lost and they can replace them for you.

Year 1 Reading

In year 1 children should be reading a minimum of four times a week. With at least three of those times reading their levelled reading book. 

We collect and change the reading and sharing books every Friday.

Numbots

All children should have received their numbots login. Numbots is a fantastic way of practicing maths learning at home in a game-based format. We would love it if your child could play for 10 minutes a week, there are certificates given to children reaching new story levels!
