Weekly Homework 06.10.26

Homework Deadline: Monday 12th October 2026

Thank you all so much for supporting your children with their homework this week! The spellings are coming along fabulously! We have completed lots of quizzes and some of the children are now working their way through our Y3 and Y4 Common Exception Words! They are doing so well and all of the extra help at home is certainly paying off!

Handwriting and Spellings…


In the homework books this week, you will find a spelling sheet stuck inside. The children have been put into groups for spellings, which has helped us to know which spellings they need the most support with. These spellings are just some of our Year 1/Year 2 and Year 3/Year 4 statutory spelling words that we must learn this year. Whilst this sheet is great for learning spellings, it is also a wonderful opportunity to remind your children about neat handwriting. We are really focusing on our handwriting in class at the moment.

Just a little reminder that we can only stick the spelling sheets into books that are returned on time. Please can we ask that homework books are brought back to school on Monday 12th October. Thank you!

Maths…


This week, our focus continues to be on securing our place value knowledge to 100 and looking closely at multiples of 10. We have been trying really hard to add two-digits together that total 100. This week, there is a Maths worksheet in the children’s homework books to complete.

And, of course, times tables are always a must! In particular, please keep practicing the 2s, 5s and 10s. TT Rockstars is a fantastic way to practice! Regular, short bursts of practice are a great way to help these facts become quick and fluent. If your child is confident with these times tables, please begin to learn the 3 times table!

Reading…

Please find time to read with your child as much as possible. It would be wonderful if they could read aloud to you and equally lovely if you could read stories to them too. Bedtime can be a wonderful opportunity to make reading part of your daily routine and enjoy some special time together.

Please could I also ask that your child brings their reading book into school each day.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to pop me an email:

Thank you so much for your continued support.

Homework Deadline 05.10.26

Thank you all so much for supporting your children with their homework this week! The spellings are coming along fabulously and many have told me how much they enjoyed practicing their times tables on TT Rockstars and playing place value games.

Writing…

This week in class, we have been applying our new grammar knowledge to our writing! It is so important that the children recognise the subject and verb in a simple sentence (main clause). A verb is a doing word and the subject is the person or thing doing the action. Please complete this sheet with your child this week.

Maths…


This week, our focus continues to be on securing our place value knowledge to 100. We want to make sure the children feel confident recognising, reading, ordering and understanding numbers, as well as knowing the value of each digit.

To help prepare the children for this next unit of work, this week’s Maths homework will focus on revisiting and practising place value skills. We’ll be encouraging the children to practise these skills in a fun and interactive way, helping them to build confidence without it feeling like a chore! Please find below some online games that they can play:

At the very front of your child’s homework book, you will find three different logins. This week for homework, I would like the children to use their TT Rockstars login and practice their times tables as much as possible! TT Rockstars can be accessed online on the internet or through an app on your phone. Please encourage your children to practice timetables that they find tricky or are not yet familiar with. I will attach a direct link to the TT Rockstars website below.
