Early Phase of Learning Prep – Year 2
Homework will be set by the classroom teacher. The content and duration of the homework program will be at the discretion of the Teacher. Our focus of homework models good habits and practices for learning. For our younger students, it is important that parents get involved by reading books to them and encouraging them in a range of activities. Homework in Years Prep, 1 and 2 could be up to an hour a week and may;
- Include daily reading
- Be coordinated across different subject areas
- Have a strong Numeracy and Literacy focus through the use of free online programs such as: Reading Eggs, Sunshine Classics and Mathletics.
Middle Phase of Learning (Years 3 – 6)
Homework will be set for completion daily, weekly or fortnightly. Structured around the needs of the learners, the homework will extent the content of class work and address individual learning goals of the student. Years 3 – 6 students should expect to build regular routines of study at home each day for a duration of 30 – 50 minutes. This homework should:
- Include daily reading
- Be coordinated across different subject areas and ideally contain activities designed from current classroom content. Numeracy and Literacy focuses involve the use of free online programs such as: Reading Eggs and Mathletics.
- Include extension of classwork, projects and research.
Parents with students in the middle phase of learning are encouraged to sign the completion of homework in the student diary. Students in the middle phase of learning still enjoy being read to by a parent or carer.
