Homework
Helping your child learn through homework.
We believe homework should enhance children’s learning by helping to:
Build confidence in their learning by practising and consolidating the skills they have learnt in class
Encourage resilience and persistence in their approach to learning
Develop skills of organisation
Enable co-operation and bridge the gap between home and school to provide parents and carers with direct involvement in their learning
All homework across the school will be handed out on a Friday, with the due date being the following Thursday. This means your child will have from Friday until Thursday to complete their homework. All homework will be marked on Thursday and any misconceptions will be addressed in class by the class teacher.
All children will have a Reading Diary. Your child’s homework will set and accessed via Google Classroom. Paper copies of a worksheet can be provided by arrangement with the class teacher.
From time to time, optional tasks based on the topic learning will be sent home. This can be a useful opportunity to engage in your child’s learning, but is not compulsory.
