Each half term, every year group sends a newsletter home to parents outlining the key learning which will take place during the half term which enables parents to discuss learning and support at home.

Our Around the World Topic Learning Activities are sent home half termly to enable children to access a variety of cross curricular activities linked to their current topic. This gives parental choice as to the amount of home learning completed with children rewarded for completing tasks with a sticker on their passport and a special raffle draw incentive when they complete one trip around the world. 

Weekly challenges are set to encourage children to further develop their skills at home and a homework club offered for children who lack equipment or space at home to complete this. 

Daily Reading, Spelling Practice and KIRF and Target practice is encouraged.

We encourage our children to develop their skills for future citizenship by promoting Life Skills. We have a half termly life skills focus which we encourage our children to actively evidence and consider. 

Our Feel Good Friday involves a Brain Booster mental health activity and a Curious Challenge thinking skills or outdoor learning activity. These challenges are set for a Friday afternoon as we finish a little earlier on a Friday. We believe looking after your mental health and developing thinking skills are key life skills. 

Various online websites and additional learning platforms are encouraged via our Learning Zone in the Childrens Section and use of sites such as Times Tables Rock Stars is strongly encouraged.  We also provide a variety of additional optional activities to complete at home via both our school website and through our rolling enrichment program of activities linked to special events throughout the school year, details of which are sent directly via parent pay or detailed in our school newsletter.
