Homework
MyMaths is set at the end of a unit to consolidate learning.
Phonics books are changed every Monday (phonics books should be re-read daily for the week to build expression and fluency).
Reading for pleasure books can be changed daily by the child but this is their responsibility.
Homework are to complete the re-call quizzes and tasks below to deepen learning and understanding. If children want to present their learning and understanding from the quiz in their red homework book they can but this is not expected.
