Homework
Each term, the children will be given a new ‘Independent Homework Grid’. In Year 6, there will be set ‘hand in’ days at the bottom which is the minimum requirement. Each task should be taken from a different row and column. The amount of time a child chooses to spend on a project is up to them. Please focus on the presentation!
After completing times tables and arithmetic on a Friday, children should choose an area that they would like to practice at home to help them improve their score each week.
