Homework
At Woodlands, we ask that parents encourage their children to:
read daily for at least 10 minutes
practise number facts and times tables
practise spellings (see list sent home previously)

Research has shown that homework has little impact on the academic progress of primary school-aged children. However, we recognise that some parents would like their children to complete homework.

This work is shared and celebrated in an assembly and prizes are awarded for the best efforts.
