Homework is an important part of your child’s schoolwork. By Year 4 it is important that your child has established a good homework routine.
Please try to encourage your child to be as independent as possible when doing their homework. It is very important that all homework is completed as fully as possible and is handed in on time.
To help your child please ensure that:
Parents who show their children that they value all aspects of their schoolwork and support their children in their homework are laying the foundations for academic success later.
