Homework
In Year 5, homework is set on a Friday
and should be completed by the following Wednesday . It usually consists of a Literacy sheet and a Numeracy sheet, although occasionally one of these may be replaced by homework related to our module.
If a child has a problem with the homework, he/she should speak to me on the Monday or Tuesday.
It is also expected that the children read on a daily basis and practise the relevant pages in their Passport to Success.
