Homework Expectations:
Maths homework is set every Friday. The children will be asked to complete a specific task on the online platform 'SumDog'. The homework will need to be completed by the following Thursday, where it will be analysed and the next task set.
As well as the maths homework, children can login to BGFL to complete reading onine via Reading Coach.
Reading books and diaries - Children need to bring their reading book and diary into school every day. This is so they have an opportunity to read with an adult on a daily basis. Children are able to and are expected to change their book weekly or when needed.
