Home Learning

At St Paul’s we believe that education is a life-long process.  A child’s education does not cease when he /she leaves our school premises, learning at home is an essential part of good education.  “Home Learning” is any work or activity completed outside lesson time, either alone, with parents, or others and homework make an important contribution to progress at school.

At St Paul’s we use the software ‘Doodle’ as our little and often approach to home learning.  Doodle builds confidence and ability in Maths and English by creating every child a personalised work programme, tailored to their strengths and weaknesses.  Teachers assign tasks each week which support the learning in class and are appropriate for each individual child’s needs.  Doodle tasks are set on a Friday and must be completed by the following Friday.  Pupils are also encouraged (and rewarded) to be in the green zone, this is achieved by using Doodle little and often.  Parents are encouraged to link to their child’s account to monitor their child’s progress.

Regular reading is vital and all children have a BoomReader account to log their home reading on.  Children also has a Timestable Rockstars account which we encourage children to use at home.  Weekly spellings are sent home to support learning school.  Throughout the year we also have school and year group home learning projects for children to enjoy completing with their family.

Please remember, your child can also use their Doodle, TTRS and Accelerated Reader accounts at home.  

Should you require additional home learning after these 3 days, please contact your child's class teacher via School Dojo.
