Homework

Homework will be given out on Friday each week and is due back by Wednesday of the following week.

  ▪ Read each night                   

  ▪ Practise and learn tables (2, 5 and 10)

Power Project

At the beginning of every half term a topic based project will be given out. This half term our topic is Toys. Children (and parents) need to ‘earn’ 10 POWer Points. You can choose any of the tasks to complete and do them in any order. When children have completed a task they should bring it to school. Each half term, work will be chosen from different classes to ‘show off’ in our good work assembly. By all means go over the 10 points.

Parents’ role

• Let us know if children struggled with any of the tasks
• Please sign the reading record book when your child has read
  
• Indicate if they spent the time on the task but couldn’t complete it.
• Let us know if there is a genuine reason why the homework was not completed.
• Support and encourage, but avoid ‘doing’ the homework!

Phonics

At Court Farm we follow the RWI phonics scheme. In the summer term all children will take the Phonics Screening Test.
