What is homework?

Homework is a range of activities that I assign you to support your learning through the home.  The homework I assign you will be engaging and relevant to the activities we are examining in class.  The purpose of assigning you homework is to help you expand your learning and draw on your real life experiences.

What types of homework can I expect to be assigned?

• Completion: any work assigned during the school day that was not completed in class.
• Practice: any work that reinforces skills and concepts taught in class.
• Preparation: any work that prepares you for upcoming lessons, tests, assignments etc.
• Extension: any work that explores new contexts or expands on classroom learning. E.g. assignments, group work etc.
