Dear Parent/Carers,
Thank you to all who have written a comment regarding our new homework format. It was very informative reading the comments and the majority of parents seem to be pleased with the new layout.
We will continue to give the homework to the pupils on a Wednesday but can we please have it returned on a Tuesday. This allows the teachers an opportunity to check the previous homework tasks and set the new work.
Although the pupils have the homework over the weekend you do not have to use your weekend to complete the homework. This is to allow flexibility for all families and for each family to decide when best to complete tasks.
We would like to see ALL pupils completing and returning homework.
Here are some of the comments we received:
“… having a week is ideal. Means the kids don’t get stressed or fed up.”
“…I feel this is best issued Mon-Thurs, as I feel having homework at weekends takes up quality family time”
“Glad to see the return of homework!”
“Very pleased that homework now runs Wed-Wed, allowing more relaxed time to assist with projects”
“Great to see homework back in a structured way”
“Found the new homework format easy and more manageable…”
“It was a task to complete this week’s work as we were away for the weekend, so we had less days to do it in”
Also remember that homework is a consolidation of learning and should not take too long to complete. The IDL project may take longer but you will be given additional time for that.
Please continue to write your comments so we can continue to review and change or adapt to suit the needs of our families.
