Homework at Garnteg

Learning logs/homework books.

Your child will have a learning task to complete every 2 weeks. This is in addition to reading, spelling and numeracy, however will not be required to be completed within the week.

Foundation Phase

At the start of the academic year, each child will be provided with a homework/learning log book. Every other Friday a learning task will be set in their homework books that the children are required to complete and return by a week Wednesday ready for the work to be marked and house points to be awarded to the children during the Pupil of the Week assembly that Friday.

The tasks that will be set will cover other areas of the curriculum and it is the child’s choice how they interpret the task. Children may use ICT to complete their task, or be creative by drawing or making something that is related to what they are learning. The extra time is provided in order for children and their parents to take their time and produce quality pieces of work that can then be displayed within the school.

Key Stage 2.

At the start of the academic year, each child will be provided with a homework/learning log book. At the beginning of each topic, children will receive a mind map of activities related to the topics that are covered within a range of curriculum areas together with the value of house points they will receive when they complete the task. Every other Friday, each child needs to select the activity they wish to work on, and they are required to complete and return by a week Wednesday ready for the work to be marked and house points to be awarded to the children during the Pupil of the Week assembly that Friday.

Each child can interpret and complete their activity in any way that they see fit, whether that is through the use of ICT, art, photography, writing or any other form. The extra time is provided in order for children and their parents to take their time and produce quality pieces of work or extended writing that can then be displayed within the school.
