At Ashmount we believe that when children are not at school, there are many valuable learning opportunities to be had. We acknowledge that children put in lots of effort into their learning at school and need some time for extra-curricular activities, family time and time to enjoy playing and relaxing with their friends and family and very much encourage this.

At Ashmount we expect that children:

  • Read for 15-20 minutes per day.
  • Spend some time each week practicing their set spellings and maths facts.

Half termly POWer Projects:

  • At the beginning of each half term, children will receive a POWer Project sheet which provides families with a range of different creative learning projects that they can complete together and bring into school to show their peers and teachers. Whilst these POWer Projects are optional, we do encourage children to have a go at one of the suggested projects on the sheet.

Numicon

  • All children in Reception are given a set of Numicon (link) and a guide to using the Numicon at home to practise key maths facts.

Spellings and Maths Facts

  • Children in year 1-6 will have spellings and maths facts to learn at home each half term.

Revision Books

  • In year 5 children are given revision bokos for English and Maths to work on over the summer.
  • In year 6 children are given revision books in the Spring term to help them to prepare for the SATs.

BugClub and MyMaths:

  • BugClub is an online reading programme that is loaded up with a wide range of interesting books for children to read on iPads, laptops or similar compatible devices. It is intended to be used to provide additional reading material to children alongside the physical books they take home from school.
  • MyMaths is an online maths programme that allows children to revisit maths learning that they have already been taught in school.
  • All children from Year 1-6 are issued with a BugClub and MyMaths login.
