Information for Parents…… Next term we are experimenting with a more interactive Homework grid. Each grid will take a month to complete. Remember there are four activities on the badge which must be completed. Pupils and parents may select as many of the other activities over the four week period as they like. We do recommend a minimum of two activities per week. Please date the activity when completed. All work should be returned to school each Tuesday. We hope you have fun.
