Homework
Homework
Homework is an important part of a child's education, and can add much to a child's development. We see homework as an important example of cooperation between teachers and parents/carers. One of the aims of our teaching is for children to develop as independent learners, and we believe that doing homework is one of the main ways in which children can acquire the skill of independent learning.
Homework plays a positive role in raising a child's level of attainment. However, we also acknowledge the important role of play and free time in a child's growth and development.
While homework is important, it should not prevent children from taking part in the activities of various out-of-school clubs and of other organisations that play an important part in the lives as well. We believe that children develop their interests and skills to the full only when parents/carers encourage them to make maximum use of the opportunities available outside school.

Reading
Also, ask them questions about their reading. Parents are encouraged to comment in the child’s reading record book, shared by all adults involved. Pupils can also begin to comment on their own success and challenges. It is also useful to read books to your children – modelling expression and asking questions about the book.
Century Tech: Your child may also be given reading comprehension questions – these are most important and they help them with inference and deduction – an area of reading that a lot of KS2 children can struggle.
