Homework

We require students to have access to a device to retrieve our weekly homework slides on Google Classrooms. Students will receive a username and password to log in and access the homework.

Please be patient in this space as we have to teach the Year Threes how to access the slide presentations. A video will be sent home to parents to help support their child. If there are any questions, email your classroom teacher and we will make time to assist you in this learning space. We aim to have this digitally ready by Week 5.

Most weeks Year 3/4 homework will 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 must bring their diary to school every day to be checked and signed by an adult.

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