Home Learning

Home Learning:

This term, students will commence some short homework tasks each week. The tasks relate to our inquiry focus for the term, which will investigate ‘how can everybody’s story be heard?’ with a particular focus on learning about First Nations Peoples. Students will complete these tasks in their homework books which are to be brought home and returned each week. Each student has a copy of the instructions glued into the front page of their homework book. Each task will be due on Friday morning. If you require any assistance on supporting your child at home with this inquiry project, please contact your child’s classroom teacher. 

On top of homework, it is crucial that students continue to consolidate their learning at school by reading at home for at least 20 minutes each day. This practice is imperative in ensuring students have ample opportunity to consolidate reading fluency and comprehension strategies and promotes retention of these strategies in long-term memory. 

• Students should continue to swap take-home readers on a daily basis. Parents should refer to their reading guide which contains prompting questions to support your child’s literal, inferential and evaluative capabilities. 
• Students should continue to utilise Nessy (literacy) and Matific (mathematics) to further consolidate their learning. Where relevant, students should complete assigned work that is targeted at their point of need. These platforms can be accessed via your child’s take-home password sheet.
• A variety of resources aimed at assisting you in supporting your child’s learning at home are available via Compass. To access these resources, click School Resources > Parent Documents > Supporting Your Child At Home.
