Homework

Homework for Year 3/4 will continue to consist of 4 components:

Spelling – A minimum of 3 spelling activities must be completed every week.
Mathematics - Activities will be related to units of work being studied. The children will complete activities, reinforcing the particular mathematical skills, as well as the language used for those skills.
Reading – All children are required to read 5 nights a week for at least 15 - 20 minutes. This must be recorded in their diary with the book title and the page numbers read example: ‘13 Story Treehouse’ pgs 1-25.'; ‘13 Story Treehouse’: pgs 26-50’

Children are required to bring their diary to school every day to be checked and signed.

At different times throughout the year, the children will be given a project to complete over a 2-3 week period. At this time, there will be changes to the homework format.

Homework will start in Week Two.

We will continue our regular check-ins with you, about your child's learning as requested by you (fortnightly, monthly or as needed) from our initial emails. Please let us know if your check-in preference has changed.
