Home Learning

At Millbrook Junior School we expect the children to complete learning at home. Much of the Home Learning is completed online. Our children have their own log in details for this and know how to access the different platforms.

In order to access the different platforms, the learning links can be found on the school’s website: https://www.millbrookjuniors.co.uk/useful-weblinks.

They can also be accessed on the learning links document, which is on each child’s Google Classroom page under the topic ‘Home Learning’.

Reading:

Children will have access to the library in a lesson each week. They should be reading five times a week for 20 minutes. It is expected that their reading is recorded in their planner. They will need to quiz when they have completed the book.

This can be done through Accelerated Reader. This must be accessed through our school link. They are expected to achieve their ‘AR’ target each term.

The children can also access books and quiz on them through myON. There will also be ‘assignments’ on there, which they can access and use. This is a collection of books selected by the teacher, which are linked to children’s learning that half term. The books here will be a variety of levels. Children should read at least one book from here each half term.

English:

IXL is used during our MILO lessons for learning and assessment. Each week the children will be set an English quiz to complete at home. This will be linked to the learning they have completed during their English, Spelling and Grammar lessons.

Children also need to learn the Year 3/4/5/6 spelling relevant to their year group. These can be found in their planner. The children will be tested over the year. This does not need to be recorded in their planner.

Maths:

IXL is used during our MILO lessons for learning and assessment. Each week the children will be set a Maths quiz to complete at home. This will be linked to the learning they have completed during their Maths lessons.

TT Rock Stars is used to work on time tables (approximately 15 minutes per week). 

Other message and information will also appear on Google Classroom over time.

Children that go above and beyond with their Home Learning may be selected for a visit to ‘The Hut’ with Mrs Warren.

All classes will receive a Home Learning reward every Friday. Children who have not completed all tasks will not be able to take part in the reward.

Home Learning can be started on Friday 3:30 pm and is due on Thursday 8:30 am.
