St Stephen's Primary School

• Ongoing Home Learning

Our Home Learning

We use many different approaches to home learning at St Stephen's. Reading and/or phonics is essential and is expected to be done daily, in school and at home. 

We expect children to focus on their maths 'KIRFS', (essential maths knowledge) at home and at school too.

Creative and or research activities, based on current project learning, is an ongoing, and as and when expectation. 

Alongside these home learning activities, we use particular web based software programmes to allow ease of use and inclusion to all our children.

We see homework as a valuable way of establishing a successful learning dialogue between teachers and parents and contributing towards achieving our aims as set out in the School Vision.

Regular practice of basic English and Maths skills through Spelling, Reading and Times Tables has a positive impact on children’s development and achievement. Other work will enhance and consolidate learning that has taken place in class. While we set specific homework activities, we also encourage children to take part in a wide range of out-of-school clubs and organisations which contribute greatly to their creativity, growth and development.

Class Updates

Friday 27th september 2024.

Hello grown-ups,

In English, we started our unit on ‘The Lion in the Meadow’ by Margaret Mahy. We had lots of fun acting out the story, answering comprehension questions and describing the characters in the story using adjectives.

In Maths, we worked super hard this week! We were busy counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We worked with our partners to complete some tasks, we answered lots of tricky problems and even completed a Maths quiz!

In Geography, we had lots of fun identifying lots of geographical features in London.

In RE, we looked at the meaning of Karma and how it makes people behave. We also enjoyed the story ‘My Hindi Faith’.

In Art, we continued to work hard on our unit ‘Map it Out’.

In Computing, we continued our unit on ‘say no graffiti’ by creating some online eye catching posters.

We attached the children’s reading cloud log in, inside the front cover of the children’s reading record. You will be able to access the children’s reading cloud from home as Ms Pereira spoke about in the Key Stage 1 Maths and Reading meeting last week.

Don’t forget to do your homework (on the side bar) and Mathletics.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Whiting

Friday 20th September

Today, we celebrated the Ethiopian and Eritrean new year. Our very own Ms Hana worked very hard in the kitchen over the last few days to make sure the children and adults of St. Stephen’s got to enjoy a delicious meal full of lots of flavour.

In English this week, we continued to work on our instructions unit. We had lots of fun looking at imperative ‘bossy’ verbs which the children were very good at using! We finished the week by working really hard at writing our own instructions making sure we used time connectives and lots of bossy verbs.

In Maths, it was another busy week of partitioning numbers into tens and ones and writing number sentences to match. Some of the children are still finding partitioning really hard so please try and practise at home. E.g 46= 4 tens and 6 ones 40+6 = 46. Don’t forget there is always the White Rose app and ‘Maths with Michael’ on White Rose that are free to access and linked below.

In computing we tried our hand at creating some virtual street art.

In Science, we looked at different types of animals and their offspring.

In Geography, we had fun trying to give our partners directions to different famous landmarks in London. We tried really hard to use our key vocabulary of ‘north, south, east and west’.

In RHE, we imagined our dream classroom and shared all of the lovely things that we would have in it. Then, we thought about all of the things that we can do to make Madan a safe and happy classroom to learn in. We wrote down our pledges and turned them into a paperchain to hang in the classroom.

This week’s homework can be found on the sidebar. There is comprehension this week too, the first one of Year 2. For your child’s comprehension homework we have put a sticker on the inside of their homework book. The sticker highlights the minimum amount of boxes on the comprehension sheet they need to complete. However, if you would like to challenge your child to complete more homework on the comprehension sheet, please do! Remember homework books at to be in by Wednesday at the latest.

A music message….

Please find details below of two singing groups run by the Tri Borough music hub.

Our  First Voices  choir  (years 1-2)  is a group for children who love singing and enjoy taking part in performances. The students learn fun songs, rounds and musical games, as well as increasing their confidence when performing and developing fundamental musical skills.

Our  Junior Voices   choir  (years 3-6)  is   a non-auditioned ensemble where students learn and perform music from a range of musical styles and through various teaching styles, including notation. The students develop key musicianship and performance skills, whilst engaging in regular performance opportunities throughout the year .For more details please follow the link below.

Registration – Tri-borough Music Hub (speedadmin.dk)

You can also contact Evie directly via email ( [email protected] ) if you would like to discuss further.

Have a great weekend!

Friday 13th September

What a week!

In English, we were busy finishing off our unit on our class poet Mar Ann Hobeman. We took a closer look at the poem Brother and the vocabulary Hoberman used.

In Maths, we had a busy week working on our tens and ones. We partitioned numbers, created our own part whole models and wrote our own number sentences. We finished off the week by completing some assessments which will help us provide the correct support to the children moving forward.

In Geography, we took a closer look at some of the famous landmarks around our amazing capital city, London.

In Computing, we were a little rusty at logging in to our computers so we had to take some time to practice. We then started our unit ‘Say no to Graffiti’.

In RE, we started our new unit on Hinduism. We looked at the important role that our family and friends play in our lives.

In RHE, we started our new unit on ‘Me and my Relationships’.

In Art, we started our unit called ‘Map it Out’. We were busy investigating maps and used oil pastels to map out our journey to school.

Next week for our Art lesson we will need some resources from home. Please could the children bring in an old tea towel each and some bubble wrap if you have any.

Today, we went to the Library and got the opportunity to take our first books out in Year 2. Our library slot is every Friday, so your child will need to bring their library books in each Friday in order to change them and choose a new book.

This week’s homework can be found on the top of the class page.

A spelling sticker has been put into your child’s homework book. You will notice that your child has been put in a spelling group, either blue or green. Please note that these groups are not permanent, the groups are subject to change. If your child gets their spellings right three weeks in a row they will be able to move up spelling group. If they are in the blue group and they get their spellings right three weeks in a row they will get house points.

Just a reminder… completed homework books are to be in by Wednesday each week. Signed reading books are to be in by Friday.  We only have one opportunity to change books throughout the week. New books go home on a Monday so you have the week to read them.

Homework books now have the children Mathletics and London Grid For Learning log in stuck inside the front cover along with the children’s spelling groups.

Have an amazing weekend!

Friday 6th September

A massive hello!

Welcome to Year 2 and welcome to Hoberman class. Miss Karen, Miss Michelle and I have all very much enjoyed the first week back at school and we hope the children have too. What a great start to the new school year with a wonderful class! We have had such a brilliant first week of Year 2! Your children are amazing and have made me smile and giggle the whole day long! They’re an absolutely delight and I know we are going to have the most amazing year!

What have we been up to?

This week we read a lovely book called ‘Ruby’s Worries’ and discussed what to do if we have a worry. We wrote a holiday recount using lots of exciting adjectives. It sounds like everyone has a fantastic summer! As a class, we came up with our classroom rules which will help us to have a safe and calm classroom. We also analysed the poem ‘Brother’ by Mary Ann Hoberman (our class poet).

We had our first Spanish lesson in Year 2. It was very exciting! We focused on animals and colours.

In Maths, we worked on our place value knowledge using tens and ones and how to spell numbers in words.

In Geography, we learnt about our capital city. We located it on a map of the world and then placed the UK within Europe. We found out that London is the capital of the UK as well as the capital of England but we discovered that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own capital cities. We talked about some of the most famous landmarks in London including Big Ben and the London Eye. Finally, we played a board game where we took it in turns to answer questions about London. A correct answer meant that you could roll the dice and move forward.

In Art, we have been investigating maps as a stimulus for drawing. We organised images into groups explaining our choices and then we drew a map of our journey to school making it interesting by using lots of details.

This week’s homework

The children need to design a poster that they feel expresses them on the first page of their homework book.

Homework from Friday 13 th September

Homework will be set each week on a Friday and will need to be returned by the latest on Wednesday the following week. Your child will be given a green homework book to complete their spelling homework, sentences and Maths homework in. The homework sheet will be uploaded to the class blog on a Friday which will explain all.

They will have a set of spellings to learn. They will all learn the statutory spellings (5).

There will be a sticker at the front of their homework book that explains if they are in green group (5 additional spellings) or blue group (8 additional spellings). This will be something that is fluid throughout the year. They will need to learn these spellings for a relaxed spelling test each Friday as well as writing each of words 3 times in the front of their homework book to help them remember how to spell them.

Following this, they will need to write three sentences using words from their spelling list and a grammar focus in the front of their homework book.

There will be a small Maths task set at the bottom of the homework sheet, which is to be completed at the back of their homework book.

Each Friday we will set tasks on Mathletics, which is to be completed by the following Wednesday.

Fortnightly, the children will have a comprehension exercise that you will find in their homework book.

Reading books

Two reading books will be given out on a Monday and will need to be returned on a Friday. Please ensure that your reading record is signed so we can change the books.

On Monday 9 th September the children will received a reading book based on their reading levels that have been shared with us from the previous year. Over the next few weeks, we will reassess their reading levels so this may change.
