Medium Term Plan
Homework
At the beginning of each half term the children should complete at least three activities from the grid. Written work must be presented neatly in your homework book. Creative work can be presented in any way of your choosing. Homework will be discussed on Fridays, but it will not be necessary to bring in the work until the date on the sheet.
Please find link to the homework grid below:
We will also send weekly spellings home every Thursday which will be tested on the following Thursday morning. Don't forget to logon to Mathletics each week.
