11. Homework is set on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and is due in two days later (unless otherwise specified). Based on topics being covered that week, building on prior learning in the classroom. Each piece of homework should take between minutes. If your child finds a task particularly challenging or it is taking them longer to complete, please feel free to write a note in their book about anything specific they needed support with, or speak to me in person and we can work together to help overcome any obstacles! The children need to take responsibility for their own homework and be aware of deadlines.

12. READING Every week night; once over weekend
Aloud, to an adult, for 10 – 20 mins
Records dated and signed by adult, inc. number of pages read in one sitting

Discuss what children have read – comprehension is key!
