Homework

In KS2, we use Accelerated Reader as our reading scheme. Pupils will complete a STAR reading test in school which will give them a reading range. Pupils can choose their own reading books from within their range and should aim to read for a minimum of 20 minutes each day. Once they have completed their book, they will take a quiz in school before choosing their next book.

We use CUSP as our spelling scheme for KS2. Children will learn a spelling pattern or rule each week and will bring home a weekly spelling homework sheet. Spellings are also set online via EdShed.

Times tables should be practiced each week on TTRockstars.
