This term the children have a selection of homework tasks to choose from. Please help your child to do 6 tasks, at least 2 from each section, ( about 1 every 2 weeks), this can be brought into school for us to celebrate! If the task is a practical one, then please take photos of their work as well as bringing the completed task. Try to pick a variety of subject areas but tasks that your child will be interested in and enjoy! If you are not sure how to get started please talk to your class teacher who will able to give you some guidance. 

The homework tasks are to be completed in your child's own time and can be handed in throughout the term rather than on a specific day each week.
