Homework

I have sent home on the 24th August, 2009 a homework grid, which will be completed over the next eight weeks of school.  Students will be required to complete one task per week and will need to bring it to class on Friday.  This gives the students a week to comlpete each task.  These tasks relate to topics we are covering in class over the next few weeks.  I ask that you please sign and date the box when a task is completed.

Along with the grid, spelling (Please see 'Spelling Strategies' sheet sent home) and reading (recorded in their 'Reading Tracker') will continue to be set until the end of term.  10 minutes each school night is an examples of how this could be undertaken.  Spelling is tested and Reading Trackers will be checked on Fridays.

 If there are any issues with not completing homework, please send a note with their homework.  The classroom will be open from 8:30am onwards eevry morning for homework to be finished off.  Also, the library is open on Thursday and Friday lunchtimes for those students who wish to do their homework at school or if they need to use a computer and do not have access to one at home.  

 If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact either Mrs Jones or Miss K.
