Home Learning at Wymondley
At Wymondley, there is an expectation that every child accesses Reading Eggs, Doodle Maths, and Spelling Shed (Year 2 upwards) on regular occasions each week at home to develop their decoding and comprehension, their mathematical mental fluency and their spelling ability. All three of these platforms are accessed and used regularly in the classroom as part of timetabled learning. Every child is also able to access their Purple Mash school folder by logging in through their school Gmail account. Purple Mash is used regularly in school as part of our computing curriculum. Broadly speaking, these are current expectations for specific year groups:
Puffins (Reception)
Daily time together reading is very important in order to foster a love of language and learning. Aim to look at your child’s reading book for ten minutes each day. Encouraging your child to look out for signs, menus and posters will also help with their reading. Asking your child to spot the letter sounds from school phonics sessions will be very beneficial.
Toucans (Year 1 & 2)
Peacocks (Years 3 & 4)
Children should complete each of the following at least three times each week on three separate occasions:
Home learning should be recorded on the sheet provided each week and handed in on a Monday. Children can fill in the home learning record themselves, however this needs to be signed by an adult from home each week. Spellings will usually be checked weekly, online on a Monday. New spellings will usually be set on Mondays through Spelling Shed. Times tables will usually be checked online every Monday.
Eagles (Years 5 & 6)
