Learning at home:
Organisational Information
The first priority is always reading (because, once you can read well, you are then able to access all other learning). All children will read individually to an adult at least once per fortnight. The book that they have read, along with its page numbers, will be recorded in your child’s school diary on that day’s date. Your child will be given the opportunity to change their reading book daily. We encourage children to read at home every day. Children must ensure that their reading book and school diary are in school every day.
The next two priorities are to ensure spellings and times tables are learnt each week. Spelling shed, MyMaths and TT Rockstars should be used to support learning. To further consolidate and improve learning at home, all KS2 pupils have access to Century. This provides personalised pathways for your child (based upon online assessments they complete) for all aspects of English, maths and science.
The next priority is to choose 4 activities from the termly homework grid (see the newsletter at the start of each term) These activities support and deepen ‘Discovery’ learning, and pupils can choose whether to ‘Make it, Find Out About it, Create it or Present it’. By providing flexibility and choice, we hope this will enable pupils and families to select activities that suit them, depending upon the amount of time you have, the equipment and resources you have at home or the amount of help that is available, etc
Each week, the newsletter will include 2 questions for each class – these are entitled ‘Ladybridge Learning Conversations’, and are to support learning conversations at home. Any additional conversations/activities about learning at school are encouraged and will, through recall or retrieval, support long-term memory.
In light of missed learning during last year, asking your child about previous learning (particularly linked to current learning) will support their long-term memory Daily reading, learning of spellings and learning of multiplication facts will help to close gaps that have occurred during the last six months. Other areas of missed learning will be covered in other areas of the curriculum throughout the school year.
