How much homework is your reception child getting?

[SouthernComforts]

I'm starting to dread opening the reading bag of doom everyday!

Dd is getting 4/5 worksheets per week (2 x A4 colouring, 1 number sheet, 1 word sheet) plus reading book, a page of key words, specific letter sounds and requests for 'do something amazing with your child and get them to write/draw about it here'.

Oh and a library book.

Nothing yet. He brings a school library book home once a week, which we read to him as a bedtime story, and the only other thing we've had is to dig out a baby photo of him for the "why do you love me so much" topic that I think he had to talk about in the class.

No reading books till after half term. Nothing else till after Christmas at the earliest.

One book a week for him to read and two for us to read to him. It's enough!

Far too much and a bit (entirely) pointless.

I'd write and complain/ opt out or change school.

We get a reading book each day, if she doesn't read we get the same book the next day. No pressure, no worksheets. She has a home pack which has a whiteboard pack to practise letters and numbers as and when she wants but no set tasks.

Two reading books a week (still picture) for 10mins 5x a week. Then 5 high frequency words to learn each week plus a nursery rhyme with the signs (teach sign language), optional literacy and maths exercises which we do over the weekend
