Homework

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

Each week, Year 3 children are expected to complete:

  1. Reading: read on at least 5 nights each week, ideally every day. Reading should be recorded in the school planner.
  2. Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS): 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

We do not prescribe an exact number of pages or minutes because a meaningful reading session will vary according to a child's age, reading fluency and the book they are reading.

As a general guide, around 10 minutes may be appropriate for younger or less fluent readers, while older, increasingly fluent readers should gradually develop the stamina to read independently for around 20 minutes or longer.

These timings are a guide rather than a target. What matters is that children read enough to become engaged with and understand the text, rather than simply reading a page or two to say that the task is complete.

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. These provide opportunities to extend curriculum learning and develop wider skills, experiences and independence.

Homework is checked each Monday.

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