Home+Learning

__ **Team Maui Home Learning Expectations:** __

Addington School has three ongoing expectations for Home Learning.

Our expectation is that the children will complete their home learning four nights a week and that a parent / caregiver / older family member has signed off each nights work.

All of the home learning tasks are designed for the individual and suit their learning needs.

We expect to see the Home Learning book at school on Mondays for setup and then Fridays for testing.

__ **Maths** __ - Basic Facts work tested each night.

__ **Reading** __
 * 30 minutes per night of personal reading.
 * Children will have a reading book from school from their group browsing box.
 * Children with a reading age of 13 years or higher may choose to read their own books. If this is the case you should all be attempting to read a variety of books, non-fiction, fiction, chapter books, newspapers, magazines etc.

__ **Spelling** __ - Over the week you need to write each ‘Read and Write’ sentence twice and have them checked for spelling and punctuation.
 * FROGS spelling lists.
 * Tested on 10 words from your FROGS list each night.

This will be written in blue pen on the opposite page to the home learning setup.

__ **Topic Assignments** __ ==== Throughout the year there may also be the occasional home learning project to complete at home eg. current events, speeches in Term 4. These will not be huge assignments but tasks that often require some support from members of the family. ====

**//As we know you value your child’s education, we thank you for taking an interest in their learning and the support you give them.//**
**Term 2 - ‘Room 11 Current Events’**

Four days a week a student will present their current events or news to the class. The presentation can be based on a personal experience, local, national or global news item. They have 5 min to present to the class.

**The presentation needs to include:**
 * 1)  A visual aide - a supporting image / item to look at in relation to the presentation eg, poster, photo, model, artifact, video, PowerPoint etc.
 * 2)  3 ‘open questions’ to ask the audience regarding their presentation. The aim is that the questions are relevant to the presentation encourage discussion and deeper thinking within the class.

**These areas will be assessed using the rubric below:**
 * 1)  Quality of visual aide
 * 2)  Quality of questions
 * 3)  Ability to speak clearly with confidence, projecting voice with clarity and good speed.

Presentations will be assessed by their peers and the teacher. Highlighters: Yellow = Peer Blue = Teacher
