Homework
Homework is an
essential part of learning and often helps to consolidate skills and new
learning’s from lessons and activities. In the middle years of schooling it is
important for students to gain some organisational skills from completing
homework. I would like to see students spending 40-60 minutes on homework each
day from Monday to Thursday.
Part of the homework includes reading. This is an essential daily
requirement and they can do this aloud to you or to themselves. We are
participating in the Premiers Reading Challenge and in order to complete this
all students must read twelve books for their year level.
The Word Study Programme needs to be completed continuously. Students will
be tested on the words at the end of the week. Students have a contract to
complete for their weekly words.
Another important area is Mathematics. At this level they must learn
each timetable for immediate recall. Students will be tested on their times
tables in class at various times. Students will be required to complete tasks
set from lessons and should be consolidating their skills with at least 15
minutes practice a night. Other homework will include English, History and
Science. If your child is unable to complete their homework, please send a note
in your child’s diary.
Diaries will be filled in every morning with homework and other notes
when needed. Diaries will need to be signed weekly, and this will be checked on
Monday.
