The following is how the homework grid works in year 3. The children can choose any piece of homework to complete from the grid. Some tasks may require extra research if it is one that we haven’t covered in class yet. The expectation is that the children complete four pieces of homework by the end of term, if they do this, they can join in with an afternoon of golden time activities. The pieces of homework will be shared with the class and some pieces will be displayed. At the end of the term, homework will be sent home with a certificate. Your challenge is to complete four or more activities throughout the term. Once an activity has been completed you should shade it in on this grid. At the end of term if you have handed in at least four pieces of homework, you will receive golden time as your reward.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOUR HOMEWORK ALSO INCLUDES READING AT HOME AND PRACTISING YOUR TIMES TABLES AND BASIC NUMBER FACTS. www.mymaths.co.uk
