Homework

The school has always set homework tasks to extend and enhance learning.  It is helpful if a child has a quiet environment in which to complete homework and also know that they have support from parents should they need it.  The children may be asked to cover a variety of tasks and activities but they fall generally into the following categories.  We feel it is important to establish a homework routine so that the children see learning as a partnership between home and school.

Year R (Explorers)

  • Reading at least 3 x per week (no set days).
  • Practice reading High Frequency / Tricky Word flash cards (no set days).
