Homework is given out on Fridays and returned the following Friday. This will consist of maths and English, and will be mix of book work and online tasks.
Spellings and times tables are expected to be practised regularly over the week. We take home a new set of spellings every Monday, to learn for our test each Friday. Sometimes, we will be learning a more complex spelling rule and get two weeks to practise, instead of one.
