Homework

As mentioned in the school newsletter - this supersedes the spelling homework entry in the previous Welcome Blog:


We will no longer be sending home a fortnightly homework grid; children are to be encouraged to become more independent when doing homework tasks, developing their ability to become self monitoring. Each week students are required to focus on daily reading and prac<sing maths basic facts using Mathletics or the Basic Facts Ladder activities, which can be found on the School Website. Please encourage your child(ren) to read for at least 20minutes each day. Children will be encouraged by their teacher to write regularly in their personal writing journals bringing these to school at least once each fortnight to share their work. Spelling words will not be sent home. The goals your child set in Term 1 are a good guide for home tasks.
