Home Learning will be handed out in a folder on Fridays, to be returned by the following Friday. Teachers will spend time in class reviewing Home Learning and marking the children’s work as a class. The children will then gain rewards for the effort they have put into their Home Learning.

Participation in Home Learning is optional, but we would encourage all children to take part. The Home Learning will align with the week's lessons and aims to strengthen children's understanding.

 Our minimum expectations of all children are:

• To read out loud to an adult 3 times a week - recording the name of the book and pages read in their communication book

• Learning a list of words (spellings) to be tested, the following week. These spellings can be found on our weekly 'Bandon Hill Bulletin'
