Family Homework

Every school holiday, families across the Stepney Partnership primary schools (Ben Jonson, Cayley, Halley, Redlands, Smithy Street) enjoy ‘family homework’. Children, siblings and parents/carers learn together and have fun! The theme for this edition is Pirates . When we return to school, your teacher will give you a chance to share what you have done with your class.
