Life of the School

At Mount Florida Primary, we actively encourage and welcome parent/ carer engagement in the life of our school by :

• Coming along to open afternoons and assemblies
• Engaging with your child’s seesaw
• Ensuring attendance at formal parents’ evening

Please support children in their learning by:

• Making sure your child comes to school every day
• Making sure your child is at school on time
• Making sure your child comes appropriately dressed for school and ready to learn

Homework

In Mount Florida Primary School, we value homework because;

• It helps develop an effective partnership between school and parents and other carers in pursuing the aims of the school
• It reinforces concepts, ideas and work habits learned at school
• It gives pupils a chance to practise skills they are acquiring at school in a different setting
• It offers pupils a chance to develop independent work habits
• It can be used to encourage pupils to seek information from alternative sources to those available in school – local libraries, or by interviewing adults

Homework activities vary depending on the focus on each class, although we encourage pupils to read each evening whether from school readers, novels, magazines, newspapers or reference books.
Information regarding homework planned for your child’s class will be found on the termly homework grids and through seesaw activities.
