We believe that homework encourages children to develop good work habits and independent study skills. It provides an opportunity for them to practise and reinforce skills learnt in the classroom.  On this page you will find information about the range of ways we provide homework for your child.

Reading - Bug Club

It is an expectation that your child reads at home at least THREE times a week. Every child has a reading diary, where adults from both home and school can record what your child has read and any other relevant comments.

Our school reading scheme is Bug Club.  We encourage children to read using the online Active Learning platform Bug Club.  The website can be accessed using this link: https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/login

Every child has their own username and password.  These can be found in the front of your child's reading diary.  If preferred, some children and parents prefer reading from physical books, if you require this please talk to your child's class teacher.

 

Times Table Rock Stars

 Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice with a rock star theme.  Children from Year 2 upwards will receive a username and passwords for Timetable Rockstars, which can be found in your child's reading diary.   This allows them to practise and prepare for the multiplication check at the end of Year 4. You can access the website using this link https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student or download the app.

Learning By Questions

LBQ is a great way to support your child with what they are currently learning in English and Maths. Your child will have been given a username and password that is stuck in the front of their reading journals. To access LBQ, go to: LBQ.org
