Homework
In Hill 6, homework is an important way for children to practise and build on what they are learning in school. We really value your support in helping to make this a positive and rewarding experience for your child.
Each week, the children will be given 10 spellings to learn. A spelling sheet for the half term will be sent home and is also attached below, so you can see what’s coming up in advance.
Homework will also be set weekly on Emile, our online learning platform. The children have been sent home with their own login details, which they will need to access their tasks. Emile homework will link to their spellings, times tables and the Maths topic we are covering that week. Please do take the time to sit with your child and discuss their homework with them, as this makes a big difference to their learning.
Children will also bring home Talk Homework each week.To help children develop their “sticky knowledge”, they will also bring home 3–5 key facts each week to share and talk about with you. Discussing these together really helps them to remember and apply what they’ve learned in class.
Finally, the children will take part in our weekly Map Quest challenge in class. The next stage can always be found on the school website for the to have a look at, they should continue practicing their current stage at home to help them move to the next stage. This activity is designed to make geography fun while building the children’s knowledge of places and locations.
Thank you for encouraging and supporting your child with their homework — working together makes a real difference.
