Homework is a very important part of a child’s education and can add much to a child’s development.
Throughout their time at Dudley House pupils are encouraged to spend some time at home following up work or completing tasks set by the teacher. We ask parents to encourage and ensure their child completes all homework tasks set.
All children from Reception to Year 6 have a reading book. We encourage them to take it home to share, read and discuss the content and any unfamiliar vocabulary.
All children are also set ‘Brain Builder’ challenges every few weeks. These are carefully planned tasks that are linked to work in class. This is a creative approach to homework which allows children to work in their own preferred style.
We also give spellings, number bonds, tables and other activities that consolidate and extend work that has been covered in the classroom. Most of the time pupils will be able to complete work on their own, but there will be times when they will need your help.
Parents have a vital role to play in their child’s education, and homework is an important part of this process. We encourage parents to:
- discuss the homework tasks set.
- provide their child with a good working space at home.
- help their child as and when they feel it necessary.
- encourage their child to complete the homework.
- ensure their child completes and hands homework in on time.
Class 3 have been researching and creating Brain Builders about the Romans.
