HOMEWORK
Bellbridge has a Homework Policy that supports students and their families by providing activities that support classroom learning, foster good study habits and provide an opportunity for students to be responsible for their own learning.
Please note: Homework is not compulsory at Bellbridge Primary School – it is a parental choice. If parents do not wish to support homework activities or find that some homework tasks cannot be completed due to other family commitments, we request that parents write and sign a short note to the teacher (e.g. in the Student Diary). Our approach to homework at Bellbridge includes:
Prep
- Sounds (phonemes).
- Decodable words.
- High Frequency Words.
- Decodable sentences (when ready).
- Decodable texts (when ready).
Homework will generally not exceed 20 - 30 minutes per day.
For an example of how to say each letter and sound, or an example of how to support your child completing their home learning activities, please watch the videos at the bottom of this page.
Grade 1 – 3
- Reading activities to, with and by parents.
- Simple extension tasks associated with classroom activities.
- Gathering of additional information or materials.
- Homework will generally not exceed 20 - 30 minutes per day.
Grade 4 – 6
- Independent reading on a daily basis.
- Tasks such as continuation of classroom work.
- Other tasks linked to Integrated Studies.
- Homework will generally not exceed 45 minutes per day.
