What is the purpose of Home Learning?

In order to extend the concept of traditional homework and to provide a more varied and fulfilling range of tasks, Landywood uses the term Home Learning.

Its purpose includes:

  • To learn new skills and knowledge

  • To practise skills and knowledge as a follow up to lessons in school

  • To prepare for lessons due to happen in school

  • To develop independent study skills and good study habits

  • To improve skills and confidence in different areas of study

  • To develop an enquiring mind

  • To provide opportunities for 1:1 attention

  • To enable parents to take an interest in and support their child’s learning

  • To encourage children to explore areas of interest to them.

 

Home Learning Guidance

Home Learning gives parents/carers an opportunity to be involved in their child’s learning. It consolidates the knowledge, understanding and skills taught in school.  As children progress throughout the school home learning will enable them to become more independent learners. 

At Landywood, we use Century Tech AI for our weekly homework. This innovative homework system offers instant, tailored feedback for each student, enhancing their learning experience. With Century Tech, children receive personalised learning journeys that adapt in real time based on their responses, ensuring they are challenged at just the right level. Teachers can easily track student progress with detailed breakdowns of performance on each learning task. This valuable data allows teachers to analyse strengths and areas for improvement, informing their next steps in teaching.  Accessible on any device, Century Tech is user-friendly and designed to engage students in their learning at just the right pace for their individual learning needs.

 

Timetable

Regular weekly home learning throughout the school will consist of: 

  • Reading every night for 10 minutes

  • Learning spellings/phonics (spelling lists are given on Mondays and are tested Fridays)

  • Times tables/number facts 

  • Century Tech Nuggets or Active Minutes (this varies based on year groups)
