At Hatfeild we set homework on a weekly basis, this is tailored to what your child has been learning in the classroom. We believe that home learning is an important way to prepare children for new learning and apply key skills that have been learnt in school.  

For years 1 - 6 directed homework is set on Google Classroom on a Friday and handed back in the following Wednesday. We expect parents to ensure that homework is handed in on time and that it represents a child's best efforts. If you do not have access to Google Classroom and require a paper copy, please speak to the class teacher. 

Years 1 & 2: Home learning will alternate weekly with literacy and maths

Years 3 & 4: Home learning will alternate weekly with literacy and maths. They will also get weekly times tables practise. 

Years 5 & 6 : Home learning will have maths and literacy weekly

Supporting your child with their home learning can really help improve their progress and achievement. We ask that parents and carers try to make homework part of the family routine and create a distraction-free space for the children to complete their tasks.  We expect that all children are reading aloud to an adult every day. 

Homework will be acknowledged by the Class Teacher. Reading records will be monitored weekly. 

Early Years home learning will be sent on a Friday on Evidence Me. This will be a variety of activities - eye spy, naming writing, sharing the story of the week, sound hunts, cutting skills etc. These activities will support your child in their early development.
