Home Learning

At Eynesbury Church of England Primary School we believe home learning to be an essential and enjoyable part of a child’s education. Home learning encompasses a range of activities facilitated by those at home which support and enhance children’s learning.

The aims and objectives of home learning are:

❖ to enable pupils to make maximum progress in their academic and social

development;

❖ to provide a positive shared learning experience for parents/carers and

children;

❖ to consolidate and reinforce the learning done in school and to allow

children to practise skills taught in lessons;

❖ to help children develop good work habits for the future.

Reading:

This is an essential life skill and we believe this opens up the world of learning. In order for your child to succeed, we request all children read daily or hear someone read to them so they are practising their fluency and comprehension.

Please listen to them read daily and sign their reading logs.

Maths:

Children need to be fluent mathematicians in terms of the four rules of number. They can then use and apply these skills to other areas of maths.

Please help the children become fluent in their times tables – these are the root of all mathematics!

Classteachers will also send home workbooks and spellings to consolidate the children's learning in school.
