Homework | The Flying High Academy

Homework

In Year 2 there are two main types of homework.

Spellings

Each week, children will bring home a list of spellings to practice.

The spelling lists are made up of two types of words:

- Some of the spellings follow a particular pattern or rule.

- Some of the spellings are year 2 common exception words which we will be useful for our learning at the time.

Each term, children will also bring home a spelling menu which is full of activities to practice their weekly spellings.

Creative homework

Each term or half term, children will bring home a creative homework menu.

Children are welcome to complete one, some or all of the creative tasks at any point throughout the term.

Children will be rewarded for each piece they complete.

Whilst there are two main types of homework in Year 2, children may bring home other homework throughout the year.

Educational websites and games

Below is a list of useful websites that your children could play at home to further support them with their learning and development.

Times Tables Rockstars A brilliant game which helps to develop children's ability to recall times tables at speed. As children play, they also earn coins which they can use to personalise their game character.

Purple Mash A brilliant website which is full of educational games and activities. We use this website in school and children love going on it.

Hit the Button Another brilliant game which helps to develop children's ability to recall times tables, division, number bonds, doubles, halves and square number facts at speed.

Phonics Play A superb website full of phonics games and activities that are categorised by the phonics phases. This is another website we use regularly within school.
