Welcome to our homework grids. Children in all year groups from Reception to Y6 will receive a half termly grids with a range of exciting topic activities to complete alongside key skills tasks. Please see the letter and 'How To' guide, below for a full explanation of how these work.

Copies of the grids can be found here too.

Great examples of homework tasks will be celebrated in assemblies and displayed in school. You can also see examples on the Homework Heroes tab accessed via Homework Grids to the left of this page.

For those children and families who produce homework digitally, we have a dedicated email address to which you can send photos, videos powerpoints etc. Work will be forwarded to the relevant teachers.

How to use the homework grids:

-Each grid lasts for a half term

-New grids will be issued each half term

-Children will need to complete one piece of topic / project homework per week (left hand side of the grid)

-Children will need to practise the key spellings & key maths facts (right hand side of the grid)

-Children can choose up to 2   topic / project based tasks from any one area such as maths & problem solving or RE, per half term (to avoid children only ever completing topic activities from the RE section, for example, up to 2 tasks can be selected from any one area)

-Children will need to decide how they would like to practise their key spellings and key maths facts. (each grid will give suggestions of how to do this. Websites, apps and ideas will be given. However parents need to support their children in finding the best ways to secure these facts. We hope this is something you can do together.)

-Children will need to submit their homework on Wednesdays (this will consist of one topic task and evidence of key spelling & maths facts practice).

All homework will be acknowledged by the class teacher and or teaching assistant. This may be verbally, a written comment, remark or sticker.  Please don't feel work has not been appreciated or noticed if comments are not written; we always look at everything that is sent in. Extra special pieces of homework may earn a homework hero certificate too! 

Copies of the grids can be found below.

Homework grids

Why do you set homework.

We believe that learning is a life-long habit that is not confined to the classroom. Our fortnightly home-school learning grids invite parents to get involved with what is happening in the classroom. This can play an important role in developing and enriching the learning going on at school.

Have you asked parents about homework?

Homework is an aspect of school-life that is often controversial. Some parents and carers think that children should be doing a lot of it; others believe that there is no place for it at all. In 2013, after consultation with parents, staff and pupils, we made changes to our homework grid. 

Homework explained

Many activities on the home-school grid are not designed to be tracked or marked by class teachers ('physical exercise' and 'helping at home' are obvious examples). Completion of 'Bring Back Tasks' and maths homework is recognised in class. Spellings are infomally assessed by the class teacher at the end of each two week period.

  • Each grid has one Bring Back Task that should be completed and brought back to school/uploaded to the school website by the end of the 2 week period.
  • Each grid (from Y2 upwards) also has a Sumdog task that has to be completed online (we have also made provision for children that cannot access Sumdog at home - please ask at the office for details).
  • The spellings on the grid are a sample of the words and patterns being explored in class and these are informally assessed by the class teacher at the end of the two week period.
  • Other tasks on the grid are optional activities that can be completed at home and directly relate to a child's learning at school in different curriculum areas.
  • In each class, the current home-school learning grid will be clearly on display and will be referred to during class lessons. In this way children that have completed tasks in these areas will have their work recognised and be able to share their learning with the class.
  • Children can do the tasks themselves, or with help from parents or others. The aim is to encourage independent learning but this sometimes requires support at different ages.

Children are never sanctioned for not doing their homework. If you would like your child to have access to a computer for Sumdog, join our before school drop in (Wednesdays, 8.30 - 8.55). There is an application form at the bottom of the homepage of this website.

Is there a homework club?

There is a drop-in to provide access to the online maths homework. Because it is a drop-in, if your child cannot make it one week, we will assume that they are under your care. 

A teacher will be there to supervise the children at all times and support them if they need help - parents and carers do not need to stay (but of course are more than welcome to!).

Ideally, children who join should come every week, to get the most out of their place in the club.    Please download an application from the homepage of this website if you would like your child to attend.

Do find a quiet place at home to use as a homework area. It needs a flat surface, a good light source and the right equipment eg pens, pencils, ruler, scissors, glue. Do be aware of modern teaching methods - there is lots of information in the 'Curriculum' area of this website. Do plan a homework timetable and agree on when your child will do their homework. Do allow your child to have something nutritional to eat before starting on homework. Do discuss any homework tasks with your child and how it connects with what they are studying at school. Do turn off the TV - but you could have music on if they find it helpful. Don't give your child the answer in order to get a task finished. Instead, explain how to look up information or find a word in a dictionary. Don't teach your child methods you used at school. It could confuse them. Don't let homework become a chore. Keep it fun and make it a special time that you both look forward to.

LGS Stoneygate

Homework grids.

At LGJS we want our pupils to develop into well-rounded individuals. It is important that they get time to take part in co-curricular interests, both in and out of school, and they need time to relax and to spend time with family. Homework gives the opportunity for pupils to consolidate what they have been learning in school, and lets them find out more about the topics they most enjoy.

Kinders and Reception

There are activities that we encourage parents and children to work together on at home. These practical activities are designed to support the learning that is happening in school. They include individualised reading and phonic activities at various levels; maths games and are not expected to take longer than 10-15 minutes each evening.

Homework is split into three strands:

Essentials – reading, spellings and maths facts, along with some more formal homework where appropriate.

Online support – as a school we subscribe to a number of online portals where pupils are encouraged to practice Maths and English.

The Pick and Mix grids – these grids allow pupils to choose a few activities which particularly interest them and spend the term working on them before bringing them in to share with the class.

This term’s grids are available below.
