Homework
Mathletics
At Summerside, we complete Maths homework on Mathletics. Every week, Class Teachers will set homework on Mathletics that is relevant to what the children have been learning during class. Mathletics tasks are designed to help embed new learning and to give the children a chance to practise the skills they have just been taught. It is therefore vital that your child completes their Mathletics homework every week, using either a phone, tablet or computer.
Your child should be completing at least an hour of Mathletics a week, or gaining 1,000 points.
If you have any questions around using Mathletics, please contact your child's teacher.
Reading
We try and instil a love of reading in all of our children here at Summerside. In order to practise techniques learnt in Reading lessons, to develop fluency and to expose themselves to a range of different texts, we ask that the children read at home for 20 minutes, at least 3 times a week, and have this evidenced by a comment in their Reading Record. The children are sent home each week with an appropriately matched book to their reading level. Please speak to your child's teacher if this is not the case.
