Homework

Supporting your child's learning at home is very important and is something that we encourage in Y2.

Your children's homework will be:

•  An expectation that your child reads their phonics or oxford owl (white) book three times a week. Each read needs to be recorded in your child's reading diary.
•  Your child should be completing wider reading by reading or listening to their challenge book
•  A weekly maths activity will be sent out via an email on Friday
•  A bingo board homework will be sent out each term

Challenge books

Each child will have a challenge book this is a storybook for the children to have read to them or they can try to read it if they want. The children will be earning points for each challenge book they read which will go towards earning rewards in assembly. These are how many points each child needs for each reward:

Bronze reward- 10 points
Silver reward- 20 points
Gold reward- 30 points
Platinum reward- 40 points
Rainbow reward- 50 points

Please write in at the back of your children's reading diary where it says 'Books I have read' every time your child has read their challenge book. They only need to read it once.
