Welcome to Africa homework page.
We set weekly homework tasks for children in Reception. These vary from week to week but are usually planned to consolidate learning that has already taken place or preparation for learning that is about to take place.
Homework stickers will be put in the front cover of your child’s red homework book and these will be sent home every Friday. When your child has completed their task, they should put their homework book into the homework box in the classroom. All books should be returned every Wednesday in order for us to share homework and set new tasks.
In addition to these tasks, every child has a reading folder with a reading book, reading diary and a small packet containing sight vocabulary flash cards and phonic cards. It is expected that all children will have opportunities to share their book and work on their word recognition/ phonic skills regularly. Please remember that it is really important to share lots of stories in addition to your child’s reading book. Children that love books want to learn to read them for themselves.
** During our school closure we will add activity ideas to this page that can be done with your children at home. Remember these activities need to be fun. These are unprecedented times that are worrying for us all and our children are no different. Please don’t put unnecessary pressure on them or yourselves to do ‘school work’ in the traditional sense. Spend time together, having fun and make the most of the opportunity to be together as a family, something that isn’t always made easy by work commitments. Don’t worry about the missed school time (we will make sure that they ‘catch up’ . . . along with every child in the country, when we return). Make memories of this time that your children will recall fondly when they talk about ‘The Coronavirus’ with their children in years to come.
Organise your days to suit your family, your child/children and what suits you all best. Above all, stay in, stay safe and keep in touch. . . email me at thakur.z1@welearn365.com if you have any questions or better still, if you want to share some amazing, fun, home learning.**
Take care,
