Any work set for home is not intended to be a chore for parents/carers or children.  Instead, the purpose is to help reinforce what your child has learnt in school and give you an opportunity to experience and enjoy their progress.    With the exception of reading, our home learning is all completed on learning apps or online. This means children enjoy completing tasks and are continually improving their Maths, English and Reading skills without even realising it!

Expectations 

To help aid your child's learning at home, below is an overview of expectations for home learning for each Key Stage

Provisions  & Access

School will provide all reading books, children will also bring home a 'reading for pleasure' book from their class library.  School will provide children with any log in details and passwords they need to access the homework apps.  These can be found in your child's reading record for safekeeping. 

Learning Platforms

Early Years Foundation Stage - Nursery & Reception will receive weekly home learning challenges via their class e-mail address. Please look out for these challenges in your inbox. 

Reception - Year 6 Reading  

At Townfield we prioritise reading. Please read with your child as much as possible. Children should be reading daily. Please sign and date the home reading diary when your child has read. You may also like to make a comment.

Reception, Y1 and some Y2 pupils follow the Read Write Inc scheme (RWI). Pupils in Y2-Y6 use the Oxford Reading Tree scheme.  Pupils reading RWI books must have their reading book and home reading diary in school every day.
