Homework

Our homework focuses on the essential skills children need to become confident and successful learners.

Each week, Year 1 children are expected to complete:

1. Reading: read on at least 5 nights each week, ideally every day, with each session recorded in the reading record.
2. Numbots: complete at least 21 minutes each week. We recommend completing this in short, regular bursts rather than all at once.
3. Spellings: practise the weekly spellings from the spelling booklet and complete the weekly Doodle Spell assignment.

Reading

Around 10 minutes of focused reading is a useful guide for younger or less fluent readers, although this is not a fixed target. What matters is that children have a meaningful reading session rather than simply reading a page or two to complete the task.

Please talk to your child about what they have read and encourage them to discuss characters, events and new vocabulary.

Additional learning

Children can continue to use the other Doodle programmes if they enjoy and benefit from them but these are not compulsory homework.

Children will also be encouraged to take part in our Rainbow Challenges and Power Projects throughout the year.

Homework is checked each Tuesday.

Thank you for supporting your child's learning at home.
