Team Galena Homework Spring 1

Each week choose a piece of homework you would like to do from the grid. These are the choices for this half term and there are more than you need to choose from, so there will be some you haven’t done by the end of the half term. There are some longer pieces and others will be quicker to complete so you can choose which ones you have time for each week. Cross off and date as you finish the tasks and think what you could put in your homework book to show what you did. Please hand homework in on a Monday, and remember to hand your Maths booklet in then too!
