Homework at St Malachy's

Teachers will keep you informed on DOJO and make sure you have access to the links for any online learning. 

If you need any help or advice please do get in touch!

EYFS: Sounds and rhymes are sent home via Class Dojo each week. Children will take a library book home each Wednesday and this will be shared with family over the week and returned the following Wednesday. 
Reading books will be sent home when the children are ready and secure, in line with our Phonics scheme. 

Year One: Once children have progressed from sound blending books, they will be set into a Read Write Inc. group where they will receive a Read Write Inc. reading book and a Book Bag book. They will go out on a Monday to be returned on a Friday. Children can access a library of online book via their Giglets login. 
Children can practise their Maths Skills on Numbots. 

Year Two: Children will receive a Read Write Inc. reading book and a Book Bag book. They will go out on a Monday to be returned on a Friday. Children can access a library of online book via their Giglets login. 
Children can practise their Maths skills on Numbots and TT Rockstars. 

KS2: Children can practise times table practise through TT Rockstars and number skills on NumBots. Children are expected to read three times per week at home. 

Reading at Home: PLEASE make some time to read with your child as often as you can. Any opportunity to read - menus, shopping lists, post, catalogues, recipes, notices and signs. Your child will being home a reading record so that reading at home can be recorded. It is really important that every time your child reads you take a few moments to record how they got on so that we can follow it up in school. 

Purple Mash, Giglets & Numbots/TT Rockstars: Logins for Purple Mash and Numbots/TT Rockstars are given to the children. If you need a reminder of these please message your child's teacher on Dojo.
