Learning at Home

Year 5 Learning at Home/Homework

Formal/Compulsory homework is set weekly, usually on a Friday and children are expected to spend about 45mins-1 hour attempting to complete the homework. The children are expected to spend their time working on the homework as best they can and it is not a requirement that they work until the task is finished but that they spend the allotted time on the set homework. The homework will need to attempted and handed in by the Wednesday of the following week. Most of this formal homework is to be completed in homework books and recorded in the homework planners.
