Maths Homework at Squirrels Heath

At Squirrels Heath, we provide a selection of homework activities throughout the year that reinforce key mathematical concepts.

We recognise that pupils complete their homework at different times and on different days, and so we enable children to complete their work either over the weekend or on particular weekdays to keep their weekend free. We also offer homework club to provide additional support where possible. Homework is given out each Friday, and must be completed by the following Wednesday. Please note that all homework should be submitted on Google Classroom.

If you have any queries or questions regarding your child’s homework, please contact the school office.

Learn a set of spellings, to be tested, at the end of the week.
Complete a piece of written homework - this could be a piece of grammar related to the lesson taught in school that week, or a written piece related to the Topic being covered.

Homework will be set on Friday, with the expectation that it is handed in by the following Wednesday. All work will be set using the Google Classroom and the child is requested to upload their completed homework for the teacher to respond to online.
