Term+3+Homework+2009

Homework Term 3, 2009 - Grade 5/6 || Dear 5/6 Students, Our weekly homework will run from Monday to Friday. You are expected to write your nightly reader in your diary and have your parents/guardians sign the diary after you have finished reading (we expect you to read 5 nights per week). We encourage you to read to someone several times a week, and discuss the book (comprehension is a big focus to ensure you understand what you are reading). The 2nd component of our homework is mostly open-ended questions (in these tasks there can be more than one answer – make sure you can justify/explain your answer!). We will continue using the Targeting Maths book in class, during Maths lessons. Please ensure your homework is completed by Friday, ready for correction in your grade. Use one of your document wallets to keep your homework neat and tidy. Feel free to complete the alternate tasks on the computer (unless specified). If you are unsure of a task, please see your teacher – it is imperative that you are supported through the homework tasks to help you complete them confidently. //Senior Unit Teachers// || **//__ Date __//** || **//__ Homework Assignments __//** || **//__ Resources __//** || Week 1 13th July ||  Reading: Nightly Reading of your take home book for 20 minutes. || Reader to read each night. || Week 2 20th July || Reading: Nightly Reading of your take home book for 20 minutes. || Reader to read each night. || Week 3 27th July || Reading: Nightly Reading of your take home book for 20 minutes.
