Home-learning is set every fortnight and covers a range of choices from maths, literacy, exercise and activities linked to our inquiry topic. It is intended to be fun and recognise all the great learning children already do with their families, in sport or with other cultural committments.
Kids - come and see me if you are having difficulty managing your time or have another challenge you would prefer to do! Expectations:
The compulsory activities must be completed along with a total of eight activities in a fortnight period.
Marking plan:
The students will mark another student's work using this marking form. It will hopefully encourage them to think about what they need to improve on their own work.
