Homework
At Castledyke we expect children to read, at least, three times per week, this is to be recorded by an adult in their reading diary as part of their homework commitment.
We like children to read every day. It can be any book and doesn't have to be a 'school' book. All reading is good reading! We want to instill a love of reading in all children. We have a minimum expectation of three reads per week which get documented in a child's reading diary. These reads are counted and added towards the house cup award.
Maths:
At Castledyke our children can access Doodle maths, this is an online learning platform designed to boost confidence and ability by transforming maths practice into a fun and rewarding adventure! This can be accessed daily or as often as you are able to, to promote math skills. We also ask parents to practice multiplication tables with their children at home, this can be done through fun online games, worksheets sent home by school or simply orally with your child.
Spellings:
All children have a spellings sent home weekly that supports the progress of key spellings to learn. Follow the LOOK, SAY, COVER, WRITE, CHECK method to help spellings become secure. Children also practice spelling in school through our Literacy tree approach. Please find lists of high frequency words below if you wish to access these to support your child's learning.
