Homework in 5th Class
Once a week, on a Monday, the children take down their homework for the week. This generally consists of:
Reading (to do by the following Monday)
Writing task (due Friday of that week)
Word Study and Irish Spellings (assessments on Fridays - word study tasks to be done in the homework diary)
Times tables (assessment on Fridays)
Mental Maths (to do each night, and corrected the following morning)
We will also include any reminders or other occasional tasks e.g. reading through the gratitude calendar, signing maths tests etc.
We believe that homework is an important part of your child’s learning. We also understand that homework can cause stress for some at home, and to try and alleviate this, we will not be imposing any sanctions or negative consequences for homework that is not completed on time. However, if we notice a pattern emerging of homework not being completed we will contact you and initiate conversation around how best we can help to improve this with support.
