Homework

Homework

  1. As a general rule, children will be given homework each week night. Parents are asked to ensure that their children complete the homework each night. In the event of homework not being attempted or not being complete, teachers may insist that the homework is completed by the children during some of the breaks.
  2. Each child should have a homework notebook and homework copies.
  3. Where exceptional circumstances prevent the completion of homework, please forward an explanatory note to the teacher.
  4. Do not do the child's homework for him/her. Work set for homework will have been prepared in class. Please check your child's homework for neatness and point out mistakes.
  5. Changes have taken place in the way in which certain areas of Maths are being taught. In helping your child, please adhere to the methods being used in the school. Providing alternative methods may lead to confusion for the child.
  6. Oral work is as important as written work. Please listen to your child read, and examine spellings and tables.
  7. Parents should check and sign the homework notebook and/or homework each night.

Tables

Addition/subtraction tables are taught in first/second class, while multiplication tables form a large part of the third and fourth class programme.

Spelling

Spelling is taught from first class onwards. Spellings are taken from the graded spelling programme which is in use in the school

Some do's and don'ts for the teachings of spellings.
DO.............. 
  1. Teach children to Look at the word.
  2. Cover the word.
  3. Write the word.
  4. Check the word.
  5. Make sure that the child writes from memory.
  6. Write down "asked for" words and remove them before the write.
  7. Help them with their handwriting because handwriting influences spelling.
  8. Watch to see if children are forming their letters correctly.
  9. Encourage them to be careful.
  10. Praise them for all attempts.

DON'T.........
  1. Let spelling become rote-learning.
  2. Allow them to continue writing their letters incorrectly.
  3. Let them think that they are poor spellers.
