Homework

Maths homework is handed out every Tuesday. The hand in date is the Friday of each week  

A spelling overview is sent out at the beginning of half term to support the children with learning spellings at home.

On Tuesday, we will also be sending home optional topic homework based on our Antarctica topic. This encourages children to create a project based around Antarctica. Some examples from last year included models, top tramp cards, fact files etc… At the end of the half term, we will use these projects to create a museum activity where the children can share their work with the rest of the class.
