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! 

If there are any problems accessing Google Classroom, please let me know.
