Homework at reception

How do I get my 4 and 1/2 year old to sit down and do his homework?
Nothing fancy, just learning key words.

My son has always hated doing work, so I had left it and hoped things will change as he is more interested in playing than anything else (loves reading and would sit still for hours listening to a story). But now he's at reception they are excepted to learn their key words at home.

When do they start to take learning seriously - I would imagine this would be dependent on each individual child.

Help - worried that he may fall behind and I really don't want to forcefully make him.

I spent last night doing homework with my 7 years old. We have just moved to Italy and are still learning Italian and now doing homework in Italian. Yes its difficult and I end up doing most of it.
