OUR HOMEWORK POLICY In the Primary School, homework is seen as an important part of a student’s education. It serves to reinforce concepts and skills taught in the classroom, and helps promote independent work habits. Throughout the Primary School homework is given two nights each week in English and two nights in French Regular reading assignments are given to practise skills and increase fluency and comprehension. Students are also able to choose books from our very well-resourced bilingual library, including titles from the Accelerated Reader and “Rallye de Lecture” reading programmes. Parents can help greatly by showing interest in the book, and reading with and to your child. Practice in mathematics, spelling and writing skills are also given as well as work related to your child’s current Learning or Science Unit. The work is directly related to what the children have been learning in class and should be done by the child, with a minimum amount of help from the parents. The time needed for the homework will differ from child to child so the times given below are an approximate guide for the average child. Please monitor your child’s homework and if this is consistently taking longer than the specified amount of time, or you feel there are any other problems, you should speak with the class teacher.
