Homework at Over St John’s
There is a daily space in your child’s reading diary for an adult to tick and sign so that there is a record of homework being completed. This will be checked by your child’s class teacher.
Reading
All children are expected to read at least four times a week. It is important that your child enjoys their reading books and your child’s class teacher will be happy to give advice on appropriate choices.
Reading for homework can take any of the following forms:
Independent reading of books from school
Sharing a book together
Answering questions about the book
Mental Maths/Times Tables
All children in Sandymere and Delamere are expected to use Numbots on a regular basis to practise and consolidate mental maths skills. The games and activities on Numbots are key to helping your child with vital mental maths skills.
Children in Delamere will be guided to use Times Table Rockstars on a regular basis to practise and consolidate their times table recall and fluency. Your child’s class teacher will inform parents when learning of times tables has begun.
Spelling
In Delamere, children will be given spelling words as directed by the class teacher. These will be tested once a week on a Friday.
Please spend time each day with your child learning their spellings for the week.
