Creative homework
…has been designed to offer an opportunity for children to assume
more responsibility in choosing, organising, presenting and taking an active
role in their learning. Children must
complete a minimum of 5 out of the 11 tasks
by Monday 9th February 2015. In
addition to this, they must complete the extra task which should be brought into
school before the 23rd January. Any children not completing at
least five tasks (one per week) will be required to work at lunchtimes to catch
up during that last week. The order of the tasks, the choice of tasks and the
frequency of handing in each piece of work is up to the child. ICT can be used as and where appropriate and
if desired. Homework designs are completely up to the individual. This
opportunity will enhance children’s learning, help prepare them for secondary
school by taking responsibility for their homework and also make homework more
enjoyable.
