Autumn 1 Homework
Maths and English homework is now set half termly and we would like the children to complete it and mark it online through J2homework.
The children will be set a range of Maths and English tasks and we ask that children complete the first 2 Maths and the first 2 English tasks as a minimum. However, we really encourage the children to complete as many as possible and an award will be given to any children that complete all of the Maths and English tasks set.
Details of how to do this are outlined on the next page. We have practised using J2homework at school but please contact me if you encounter any problems.
