Homework

​ ​In 1/2 students are beginning to experience doing homework. All students are expected to read for at least 10 minutes every night. Students may also be asked to work on some small projects connected with their topic study each term. As homework tasks are set they will be posted on this part of our wiki, so you can check on here to see what tasks have been set and how they are to be done. From the 17th May 1/2 students will be taking home spelling homework cards. Children will choose their own cards and take home a different one each week. These cards are designed to be fun interactive activities to help embed important spelling patterns. The words students will be asked to practise using these activities have been identified as important words for them. Each child will work on 3 new words per week. The words will be logged in their spelling homework book that is to be kept in their home reading folders. The activities should be fun and should not take up more than 10-15 minutes per week (although if students are enjoying them and wish to spend longer this is encouraged). Many of these activities require assistance in their execution and we ask that a parent or carer work with the student as they do the activity. A PDF copy of the activity cards has been included below. Some of the activities in these cards have been modified or taken out completely for various reasons. If the activity chosen by your child proves to tricky or if you don’t have the resources at home to complete it please choose another activity from the cards listed here.
