Homework
Click here for Glossary of Key Words
Homework will be given out on Fridays to be handed in the following Thursday. Homework will consist of a Maths task, English task and Spelling task. Homework will be linked to what the children have been learning about in class.
Please can you encourage the children to keep the same standard of handwriting and presentation as their class books. We will be trying to promote independence this year so if there is a problem with homework we encourage them to bring it back before it is due in to ask for help - this is a great habit to get into in preparation for secondary school.
