Learning at Home

At Holwell Primary School, we belive that continuing learning at home plays a vital role in helping children build confidence, deepen their understanding, and develop independent study skills. When families engage with their child’s learning—whether through reading together, practising key skills, or exploring new ideas—it reinforces what is taught in school and encourages curiosity beyond the classroom. Regular learning at home not only supports academic progress, but also nurtures positive habits, resilience, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime

 

Learning from home in the Early Years

The home learning for Early Years will consist of reading with children and sharing books and taking children to places of interest and talking with them to extend their vocabulary.

 

Learning from home in Key Stage 1 and Key stage 2

Home learning within Key Stage 1 and 2 will consist of;

Reading: Each child will have a reading book which they are encouraged to read every night. Parents are asked to record this within their child's reading records. Reading books will be changed on a Monday and Thursday. 

Spellings: Children will be given a set of spellings every Monday to learn. They will be tested on these spellings every Friday. 

Times tables: Children are encouraged to proactive their times tables regularly. Each child has a log-in for Time Tables Rock stars  https://ttrockstars.com/  

Projects: At the beginning of each half term, children are set three projects that link to their overarching topic for the half term. The children will have 2 weeks to complete the projects.
