Homework

A grid of homework tasks are provided at the start of each half term that cover various aspects of the curriculum. These may be relevant to current learning or a revision of prior learning. The tasks will be sent as a paper copy, as well as uploaded digitally on Google Classroom on the first Friday of each half term.

Parents and children have the choice of how they submit their homework according to each task. This may be in the form of a paper copy sent into school with your child, photo/slides uploaded on Google Classroom or any other form that suits the task at hand.

Each week, a selection of homework tasks will be shared in class. For every task completed, children receive a spotter. For each 5 tasks completed, children receive a bonus 5 spotters!
