Homework Information

Homework has already started for all pupils. Hopefully the following information will be useful by providing more guidance about what to expect your child to bring home over the school week.


Handwriting	P1-4 (P4 until February)	Monday
Spelling	P2-7	Monday to Thursday
Mathematics	P1-7 (P1 mental maths after Christmas) Mental Maths – Monday to Thursday
Reading	P1-7 Core readers	at least once per week
Research	P5-7 (P4 from February)	Pupils will be given two weeks to complete these tasks
Varied Tasks	(eg Additional maths or language work)	Completed on Thursdays

Homework diaries are provided for all P5-7 pupils. They contain excellent information and are needed every day as your child will use it to write detailed information about homework and items needed each day. The diary should be signed each week by a parent or responsible adult.

Parents should also sign completed homework tasks at the bottom of each exercise. Reading record sheets should also be signed to confirm that the reading task has been done.

Hopefully good homework habits will be established quickly. Please assist us by encouraging your child to complete all written tasks neatly and accurately. Generally homework tasks should be completed within half an hour. Research tasks will take longer but should be done over the fortnight. Research tasks should always be written in a child’s own words. The required amount of writing recommended is

· P5 ¾ page of jotter

· P6 1 page of jotter

· P7 A4 page or 1½ pages of jotter

Some research tasks may take a longer period of time to complete.

Should any difficulties arise with understanding, length of time spent on homework or any other problem, please let your child’s teacher know. We are extremely grateful to parents for their time, interest and support at home.
