Dear parents,
This week’s homework follows
the pattern that most
homework will. There will be
the 3 regular tasks and a
different task 4 each week.
Please check the children’s
work each week and please sign
the sheet in the homework
book to acknowledge you have
seen their work.
Our homework blog is a little
different with separate pages
for homework and spelling.
Tips for Quality Homework
• Make a colourful heading
for each section.
• Use HB pencil for writing
and coloured pencils for
headings and illustrations.
• Rule off neatly with a ruler
after each section.
• Try your hardest with
spelling and neatness.
