Please do not worry if your child has no access to the Internet as we will be opening the computer suite for any child who needs to use it or wants to challenge themselves further. We will be celebrating the children who put the most effort into Mathletics. To develop children’s responsibility for their home learning teachers will be setting weekly tasks via Mathletics and on Education City.

Read daily and with an adult whenever possible ( or phonics for our younger children).We want to encourage home learning and expect every child to: Spending time with your child reading, discussing, posing questions, investigating and nourishing their interests has a far greater impact on their ability to be resilient, self-confident and articulate. Research has shown that homework has minimal impact on children’s attainment.

Our children work very hard during the school day. We follow this mindfulness approach at school and it really helps the children in concentration, calmness and anxiety.
