Homework links - Spelling Shed & Timestable Rockstars

At school we use Spelling Shed and Timestable Rockstars to develop key learning in spelling and times table facts. We allocate some of our weekly curriculum time to teach this but ask parents to support this area of learning by encouraging children to engage well with homework.

All children have regular homework. We are aware that many children have activities that they attend outside of school, and so with this in mind the homework focuses on reading, spellings (spellingshed) and timestables (timestables Rockstars) so that it is manageable. The homework expectations are as follows:

Year 3 & 4 Year 5 & 6
3 x 20 min reading sessions - parents to sign in Reading diary 3 x 20min reading sessions - parents to sign in Reading diary
10 minutes on Timestable Rockstars 15 minutes on Timestable Rockstars
5 games of spelling shed 5 games of spelling shed
Optional tasks Additional Maths/SPAG SATS programs (Yr6)

 

Please see links below to both platforms, for log in details please refer to the back of your child's reading diary or alternatively message your class via Dojo and they will be able to assist you.
