Students who complete homework are reinforcing the topics, reading strategies and mental mathematics content that they are learning in the classroom. Some homework tasks have students undertaking research and presenting information in a variety of ways. Building these skills can only help them with future learning, Up-coming Events Thursday 20th & Friday 21st August– Miss Jones at Primary Principal Conference Thursday 27th August – Mrs Shelton and Phil at training.
