All children are expected to read regularly at home, practise spellings and play on times table rockstars.
Your support with reading at home and homework is valued and has a significant impact.
Reading
To help support children with their reading at home you can use these handy bookmarks which show the reading strategies we teach children and some helpful prompts and questions.
Homework Expectations
Spellings EYFS – Year 2
Children will receive weekly spellings based on the spelling patterns for their year group or the phonics phase they have been learning. These will be sent home with their homework and posted on Dojo. Please take time to practise these spellings at home with your child every week.
Years 3 – 6
At Kestrel Mead, we recognise the importance of teaching our children to spell accurately. Children who can spell feel confident and are able to write with enjoyment. We want our children to be equipped with a range of strategies for learning spelling and to be able to apply their strategies when spelling words in their independent writing. We encourage our children to enjoy exploring and investigating the patterns and contradictions of the English language and to take delight in what they discover.
