Home Learning

At Prendergast Primary School, our home learning projects support our holistic approach to learning and the nurturing of creativity in all children.

 

At Prendergast Primary, we take a whole-school approach to home learning. We start in Early Years and continue all the way through Year 6.

Home Learning in Early Years

In EYFS, parents are encouraged to:

• Read together every night – share a book with your child.

• Practice letters and sounds using the support packs provided by teachers.

• Listen to your child read using our Little Wandle scheme via Collins Hub or the book swap system.

• Complete home learning projects linked to curriculum topics later in the year.

• Explore Maths Seeds after attending a parent workshop and receiving login details.

Year 1

Home learning expectations are the same as EYFS, with one change:

• Home learning projects are now completed half-termly, starting in September.

Year 2

Children continue with the same reading and home learning projects. New additions include:

• Mathletics for maths practice.

• Times Tables Rockstars introduced in the Spring and Summer terms.

Years 3–6

Home learning builds on Year 2 expectations, with extra online learning opportunities:

• Spelling Shed for spellings.

• Learning by Questions for Maths and English.

• Other online programs may also be used to support learning.

We believe that regular home learning helps children build skills, confidence, and a love of learning.
