Dear Children,

It has come to my attention that some of you may be completing your work too quickly. This suggests to me that you’re not putting the correct amount of work and effort into these tasks.

Reading a chapter of your book and completing task = 1 hour

Maths = 40 minutes

Spelling = 15 minutes

Writing = Minimum 1 hour

Topic work = minimum 1 hour (for example a report based on research of an animal should be at least 30 minutes research and then at least 30 minutes writing). This is designed to be an open ended task so that you can be as creative as you can be with it.

This equates to around to nearly 4 hours work to be spread over 2 days.

I expect the quality of your work to be the same as it is in school.

Note to parents: Please understand that all circumstances at home are different. Mr Staley will be writing out later this afternoon with further information.
