Homework

   
   

Homework allows children to use the skills which they have developed in class independently and keeps their brains active. It is also a great opportunity for you to catch up with what your child is learning.

It is also very beneficial for children to access Times Table Rockstars, Maths Whizz and Spag.com as regularly as possible. All of these learning platforms can be accessed on tablets, phones, computers or laptops.

If you would like to discuss the ways you can help to support your child, please get in touch.

 

Every Thursday, the children will be given some maths, english and spellings work to complete at home. They will bring home a homework book on a Thursday, with a copy of their homework inside. A digital copy will be available below. Completed homework should be returned to school on Tuesday.

There are two age categories: 5-7 and 8-11 year-olds and spelling, punctuation and grammar are not marked - as has always been the case for 500 Words, it's all about our writers' brilliant creativity! There are prizes to be won - each winner will take home a bundle of books and the gold winners will also win 500 books for their school library.

50 finalists will be invited to a star-studded grand final at Windsor Castle in February 2026, which will once again be hosted by Her Majesty The Queen. If that's not enough, each winner will also see their story be read aloud by a superstar celebrity on TV, which will be shown as part of a special 500 Words programme with The One Show in early March.
