Complete at least one activity each week. Your aim is to gain more than 12 points over the half term.
You must have evidence of all the activities you choose. Tick the activity when you have completed it.
Notes for Parents
Children may complete all of the tasks if they wish. Each week one child will be chosen to be ‘homework star’. At the end of
the half term all children who have gained at least 12 points will receive a reward.
Please ensure that the children write in pen or a pencil not a coloured pencil.
Also the children should write in full sentences unless the task specifically says not to for example, a shopping list.
Please only tick the grid when your child has completed the homework. We will highlight when we have marked it and given
the children the points.
Please send the homework book on a Monday and we will send it back on a Wednesday. This gives us chance to mark it.
The last day for handing in homework will be __________________.
We have included a page for you to comment on your child’s homework. We welcome your
feedback on any aspect of the homework. For example you could let us know if your
child has enjoyed a particular activity or found any tasks especially easy or difficult.
You can write about individual activities or make a comment on the whole half term’s
