Otumoetai Primary School
Homework Policy 2010
Rationale: Learning at home is important for children to help develop organisational and self management skills and to support the learning that happens at school.
Purposes:
- To encourage purposeful communication at home.
- To participate in a range of activities outside of school.
- To reinforce learning in class.
- To provide a positive link between home and school that enhances a child's learning.
- To assist children in developing an independent attitude to their own learning.
- To develop personal interests, skills, attributes, responsibility, self-management, time management and a lifelong love of learning.
Homework is an educational hot-topic and can be a very contentious issue. Some parents believe it is imperative for their children to have it, some believe that there is too much, some say there is too little and others do not wish to have any at all.
It is Otumoetai Primary School's Policy to have a small amount of homework each day. We would expect all children to:
- Read for at least 10 minutes at home per day. It would be great if children could also be read to and have the opportunity to answer questions and discuss the text they have read.
- Spend at least 10 minutes on Maths at home per day - number learning, basic facts and/or tables per night.
Other home learning tasks may be given at the teacher's discretion. Parents will be encouraged to help their child to succeed by providing learning experiences at home. Learning activity ideas and websites will be provided to all parents and will be available on the school website.
