Homework

We ask that you sign your child’s diary each night or end of each week to acknowledge that your child has completed homework expectations. We appreciate your support in our endeavors to ensure students are getting into a routine of independently commencing and completing their homework. 

 

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

  1. Spelling – A minimum of  3 spelling activities must be completed every week.  
  2. 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.    
  3. Reading – All children are required to read 5 nights a  week for at least 15 - 20  minutes 

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.

 

We will continue our  regular check-in with you, about your child's learning as requested by you  from our initial parent conferences.
