Homework ~ Guidance and Advice

Homework is designed to be a positive experience for our students. Typically tasks are designed to be completed independently and aim to;

  • reinforce current learning
  • maintain existing knowledge
  • extend student thinking or skills.

Homework should not dominate a child's after-school activities. Research clearly indicates that after a day at school, children need plenty of time to relax, socialise and develop other skills and abilities including those related to sport, the arts and culture. The development of a confident, well-rounded child should be every parent's aim.

Beneficial activities which build children's independence and character include;

  • interacting positively with friends and family
  • learning to play fairly, take turns and be tolerant of others
  • undertaking age-appropriate household chores and activities.

The importance of outdoor play should not be overlooked. Our children need plenty of physical activity if they are to grow into strong, healthy adults.

A very useful series of articles for parents interested in their child's social development is available at http://teacher.scholastic.com/professional/bruceperry/index.htm .

On wet days, or as a fun extension activity, children may like to explore some of the links below. They are all safe, educational web sites that provide useful learning opportunities for children of all ages.
