Homework at Kneesall C of E Primary is set to enhance and consolidate children’s learning. If the children have any problems, please encourage them to come and speak to an adult as soon as possible.

Reading

Please support children in their reading at home (which, in addition to books, can include comics, e-books, magazines, newspapers, leaflets etc.) We ask children to read for at least 10 minutes a day at home and have their record signed by an adult. This will have huge impact on children’s progress, both in reading and writing.

Every Friday, if pupils have read at least 3 times during the week, they will receive 5 house points.

Spelling

Children are also given a set of 10 spellings to learn each week, which they will then be tested on every Monday morning. We ask children to learn the spelling patterns within these words and find the definitions of each word.

Every Monday, if pupils score at least 8 out of 10 on their spelling dictation, they will receive 3 house points.

Maths

Pupils also have access to a variety of Maths fluency programs, including: Times Tables Rockstar, Numbots and White Rose 1-minute Maths. We ask children to access the Maths fluency programs for at least 5 minutes a day, to practice their Maths arithmetic skills.

Every Friday, if pupils have accessed Times Tables Rockstar at least 3 times during the week, they will receive 3 house points.

Half-term Project

Summer 1 Homework:

This half term, I encourage Year 6 students to focus on completing their SATS revision booklets, along with any additional practice to ensure they are fully prepared for their upcoming assessments. For Year 5 students, please work through your Maths and English revision booklet and ensure it is completed and handed in by the end of Summer 1. These resources are designed to help consolidate key concepts and build confidence for the year ahead. Let’s make this revision period productive and focused!

Thank you for your support!
