Homework Policy

Following our consultation with pupils, parents/carers and teaching staff we have refreshed our homework policy moving in to term 3. This will ensure consistency across the school and will ensure we are meeting the needs of all of our pupils and families. Just under half of our families felt that home learning was important, with over a fifth of families sharing they felt it was not important. A very high number of families also share that they found home learning stressful, frustrating, a struggle and demanding. Almost all families felt that reading was important and this is why we have referenced the importance of reading for pleasure in our new policy. We have also introduced a termly extended family learning activity. A copy of our homework policy can be viewed by clicking on the link below –

Roman Mosaics

P6 have enjoyed learning about our Ancient Worlds this term, when finding out about life in Ancient Rome the children were inspired to create their own pictures and designs using the ancient Roman mosaic style.

Stem afternoon

P6 enjoyed the stem challenges linked to our Ancient Egyptians context for learning. The children showed great teamwork and problem solving skills when using a variety of resources to build pyramids and working chariots.

Novel study

This term p6 have been reading the book ‘Coraline’ for our novel study. This week the children were able to create their own board game showing the journey of the character and challenges faced throughout the book. P6 showed a great knowledge of the book as well as fab creativity and teamwork. Well done!
