    Homework

    • Reading

      • Children will have a reading diary and a book which they can take between home and school. Please make sure if you read at home you make a note of this in your reading diary. If you need an AR quiz on your book let an adult know in school and we can sort this out for you! 

    • Maths
      • Children are working towards their Bronze times tables award (2s, 5s and 10s)  and some are working on Silver, and can use TTRockstars to help them. 
      • All children have a Numbots account- this is their weekly Maths homework and tasks will be set regularly. You will get a letter with login details for TTRockstars and Numbots in the first week of school.
    • Spellings
      • Children should practise their Year 1 and Year 2 common exception words regularly. These are shown below and were included in the letter sent home on the first day.

    Times Tables - This website is particularly good if you need to work on a certain times table.  It gives you different ways to practise the multiplication facts in order and mixed up.  https://www.timestables.co.uk/

    Hit The Button -  This is a great game to help you practise your times tables, as well as related facts such as doubles, halves and square numbers. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

    My Maths - This is not just for homework!  You can log on and access lots of lessons and activities as well as games.  The lessons are particularly useful as they explain what you need to do and give you examples to try.  https://www.mymaths.co.uk/

    BBC Bitesize - A great website.  Again, you can choose an area to look at.  There are videos, explanations and short quizzes to help you.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z826n39

    Topmarks - You can search for games that link to specific areas of Maths.  Look out for the age range underneath all games.  It will give you a good idea of how useful it is.  https://www.topmarks.co.uk/
