Homework At Grove Vale
Homework is set online. Your child will receive two pieces of homework to be completed weekly on edshed.com (English) and Maths.co.uk (Maths). Log-ins for these websites can be found in your child's home reading diary. Homework is set every Friday and should be completed by the following Wednesday.
In addition to this, children also have log-ins for Purple Mash and ActiveLearn (Phonics Bug) primary where they can play a range of games to support learning in school or access additional reading materials.
In Year 2, your child will be issued with a Times Tables Rockstars log in. This fun website allows your child to practise their times tables, compete in school and class challenges and build up their points to 'buy' rewards. Your child should be playing TTRS at least x2 per week on studio mode. It is also available in app form for tablets.
Children should also carry out regular reading at home. Your child's reading book will be changed every Monday. We ask that children are listened to read at least three times a week. Re-reading books helps with confidence, fluency, comprehension and sight-reading. Any reading at home (including library books or books from home read for fun) can be recorded in home reading diaries, which should be sent into school every day.
