Reception; half-term. Has your child been set any school work?

[wheelsonthebus]

Just wondered. Anyone (private or state) doing any school work over half-term?

Yes dd is 8, she is doing a little project on animal classifications, she also had some maths to do on shapes. State school if it is relevant

Yes - Yr 6 - a couple of practice entrance exam papers plus a couple more optional ones(some of the class will be sitting an exam on the following Saturday)and a book review.

They usually just have to do a book review in half-term hols

Sorry, didn't notice the 'Reception' in the title. I dont remember DD getting holiday homework in infants.

mine are in years 2 and 4 now - and I don't recall ever having been set homework over half term.

I also didn't notice reception, sorry.

Mine are older, but I don't think they ever got homework in half-term at that age. My youngest is Year 3 now and her homework is just to do some entries in her reading diary. Half-term is for relaxing, IMO.

DS has a reading book (but they get one every weekend) for us to look at. Plus the school has given us a list of six words that he will be learning soon so that we can help him practise at home.

DD state reception - We have to go for an autumn walk and then produce a drawing/painting to take in and share with the class. In addition to the normal reading books

DD aged 4 -reading book , writing the latest letter (they are learning cursive letters which is new to all the children) and they broughe home a recipe which DD insists they have to make for homework.

Is it a tasty recipe? That sounds like good homework. Mine have only ever had writing a holiday diary as holiday homework.

DS never had anything other than the usual reading book (state school)

No half term school work, although I'm sure they would be very pleased if we carried on doing 2-5mins of phonics every day (normal routine).

mine got 2 books and has been doing lots of drawings (not told to do them - think he just wants to show off )

I'm a reception teacher and set half term homework. I asked them to draw a firework picture and think of words to describe fireworks.

Reception ds has been sent 3 reading books home. Am fine with that as he loves reading.

Y3 ds has to make a Roman shield and is painting it as we speak!

have homework for reception here we made christas collage since ds cant talk to descibe his favourite festival and would have no clue on 3d shapes for fireworks

They didn't get reading books sent home or any formal homework but we've been encouraged to read other books with them and encourage them to write some letters, make up their own stories and do some painting/colouring/modelling.

yes but totally forgot about it until I saw this thread
