Homework

Homework is usually given on a Wednesday to be returned for the following Wednesday. However,
Miss Taft will be out of class on some Wednesdays this half term. On these days, homework will be issued on the Thursday and then it will be due back the Thursday after instead. Please see the dates in the table below.

Basic Homework Rules:
Please try to help with keeping to deadlines if possible, especially for when we review work together in class.
Ensure written or drawn homework is neat and legible.
Internet based homework should have a parent signature in your diary. (except Prodigy, where I can access your activity)
Please arrange with Miss Taft to do internet homework at lunchtime if you have problems with this at home.
Try not to lose sheets - be organised. If you do lose the homework, please ask for a spare copy well before Wednesday.

For our final term, I would like the children to enjoy this classic story with you. The episodes are 15 mins long each.
