Homework
Homework is sent out at the beginning of each half term in the form of a homework menu. This will include all of the spellings, times tables and wider curriculum homework set for the term. Children will have the opportunity to bring their homework in during the last week of term to share with the class and celebrate their homework.
The timetable below is a general guideline. Some extra homework may be given where appropriate.
