Assessment

• Termly tests will take place, but these are used in conjunction with ongoing

assessment as they only provide a snapshot.

• Children are encouraged to take an active role in marking and editing

their own work for improvement.

• Weekly tests:
• Assertive mentoring (covers a question for every method learnt)
• Times tables
• Spellings
• Children will take an active role in marking and editing their own work.

Using the marking to help progress their learning.

Homework

Homework is set on a Friday, and due in on a Wednesday the following week. When homework is marked the children can get up to 3 family points and a party point.

 1 family point – handed in on late, but completed  2 family points – handed in on time and fully completed  3 family points – effort has been clearly put in and presentation is neat  3 family points AND 1 party point – you have gone above and beyond expected.

Alongside the homework task, times tables and spellings will continue to be set each week to practise. These can be practised and recorded however they wish, it could either be written or a note from an adult. If a Mymaths task is set and there is no access to a computer at home, then a school computer can be used during their break time to complete the task. If homework is not complete, then they will lose the class a party point.
