Homework

Each year 3 child has been given a homework grid that is linked to the topic that they are learning this term (The Vanishing Rainforest). The grid has reading, writing and researching tasks. Each task on the grid is worth a certain amount of house points depending on how difficult the task is or the amount of time it takes to complete the task. You can also complete more tasks to earn more class points. We hope you can support your children in completing these tasks at home as the house points are linked to the houses (Bronte, Titus, Lister or Hockney) that they are in. So the more tasks the children complete the more house points they can win for their team! Click here for a copy of the homework grid.

Good Luck
