Nursery
Nursery use Seesaw to share experiences from home. Where appropriate, there may be a short voluntary task on Seesaw for you to complete with your child. Reading books are sent home accordingly to share with your child at home.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on gbnurseryam@theglebeprimary.org.uk.
Homework for Reception
In Reception, each child will be given homework tasks on a Friday to be returned the following Wednesday. It is important that homework is returned by the Wednesday to allow time for marking as well as setting the following week’s homework. Homework should be completed using a pencil.
Please work with your child and encourage them to complete their homework and treat their book with respect. Homework reinforces the teaching being carried out in school, but please do not expect your child to work independently at this young age.
All children have the new phonemes taught that week on their homework, as well as words they can read with new phonemes in. Tricky words are also sent home to reinforce learning. Numbots logins are sent home if children want to complete online maths games. Seesaw logins are also included in homework books, children can use this to share things from home and share reading at home.
All children will take home a reading book, at their level, on a Friday. Books and Reading records complete with comments should be returned on the following Wednesday. We read the same book three times in school. Once for decoding, once for expression (prosody) and once more for fluency. The children should be able to read the book fluently at home. Please note that all additional reading completed, by you, with your child, over and above the school books, can only be beneficial to them and will help them become more fluent and develop a love of reading. Please note: we will not be able to issue a new reading book until the previous one has been returned.
Your child will also have a Reading Record. This is to be returned on Friday along with the reading book. In the front of the Reading Record, you will find a list of comments which may help you when writing in your child’s reading record. These comments will help school understand how your child has read to you at home. Please try to write 2-3 comments weekly.
