Homefun

You have a Homefun Diary which you need to bring home daily. You will write in your deadlines and other reminders for you and your adults. It is a good place to put school newsletters and occasionally permission slips for activities. Please ask your adult to fill these in and then you can return them the following day (before they have a chance to get lost).

You will need to ask your adult to sign your diary each day to show they have seen it. It will help you if you have a regular homefun routine. Aspects of the routine you will need to work out with your adults are:

• when the homefun will be done
• where the homefun will be done
• when and where your adult will sign the book
• where the book (and any other equipment required to complete the homefun) will be put once it has been signed - I suggest it should go straight back into the school bag.

Homefun will be:

• Daily reading (books - either fiction or non-fiction, magazines, newspapers etc) - at least 20 minutes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - Sunday)
• Basic facts practice (more on this later)
• Deadline work that hasn't been completed in class time
• Regular spelling
• A personal investigation each term (more on this later)

Homefun is checked daily at school. There will be a S100 reward for 90+% completion and S200 reward for 100% completion per term.
