Home learning is an essential part of developing as an independent learner. In Year 5, children should be taking responsibility for knowing what which pieces of home learning they need to complete and when they must handed in. This will ease the transition into Year 6 when the workload will increase. The work which will be assigned will fall into two categories as outlined below.
