Homework

Homework at St Catherine's Catholic Primary School.

Homework plays an important role in supplementing learning in school and helping students to make good progress.  It can be a stimulating activity which consolidates and supplements what is learnt in class and extends students of all abilities. It can foster initiative, independence and responsibility and is a link between home and school.

All students are expected to do homework and parents are asked to do everything they can to encourage the organisation of time, materials, resources and a place in which to study.  Parents are asked to promote reading in particular and encourage the use of the school library.

Homework is set for all students on a Thursday and is expected to be completed by the following Wednesday.  Homework is set on the IXL learning platform.  Teachers will select tasks for students to complete.  Additionally, students will have spellings to learn which will be tested and we encourage students to read daily or as frequently as possible.  Please contact the class teacher if there are concerns regarding the completion of homework as soon as possible so that school can support this.  There will be project or investigation style homework that will be set over some holiday periods.  This will be done in Google classroom.

Students have their password and user names to access IXL and Google classroom.  If these are misplaced please contact the class teacher as soon as possible so that we can send a further copy.
