Home Learning
Maths
Teachers will set homework every week which consolidates what the children have been ;earning in class. In addition the children have access to MyMaths and TTRockstars.
Reading
We encourage children to read at least 5 times a week. We follow the Oxford Reading Tree scheme and once completed, children can then become a free reader.
Spelling
Each week children are set a series of spellings to learn for the next week. These can be based on high frequency words, spelling rules and patterns, as well as prefixes, suffixes and statutory words.
The children are given a spelling journal which they can personalise and they are given a variety of spelling strategies to help them learn their words.
Take Home Tasks
We believe that home learning is an integral part of a child's education at The Southwater Junior Academy. The learning is mostly linked to curriculum areas and may support, reinforce or introduce work that is to be followed up in the classroom. ‘Take Home Tasks’ will be given to children on a set day each week with a specific day to complete by.
