Homework is kept to a reasonable amount and is a fantastic way for parents to see what students are learning at school.
Homework should only take approximately 15 minutes a day.
Reading for all students
It is important for all students to be reading every night at home.
Students in Prep will greatly benefit this semester by being read to by a family member and will receive home readers in Semester. Students in the years 1-3 will be provided with home readers, whilst students in years 4-5 can borrow from the library.
Spelling for students in years 1
Students have a different list of words each week and are encouraged to practice them at home. Each student has received a copy of the words for the term to keep at home. Words do not need to be written out at home.
It would be fantastic if parents could please ‘test’ the words at home, especially on a Thursday afternoon.
Students in years 1-5
These students have a Homework booklet. The booklet is printed for each term.
Each week there is a page of English and a page of Maths which covers curriculum from their specific year level. Students may need a little assistance at home as the order concepts are covered throughout the year at school may not match the week they appear in the homework.
Homework and library books are due back every Friday.
