Homework
The children will be goven 2 pieces of homework a week. Spelling and maths. Maths homework is usually given on a Friday to be returned for the following Friday. Spelling homework will be on Spelling shed and be given on a Monday and is due back the following Monday. If children forget to bring in homework, they have one more day to bring it in.
