St Martin's Catholic Primary School

Homework will be set every Friday and handed in the following Wednesday

Homework Club will be every Monday lunchtime

You have each been given two booklets (Maths and SPaG) to complete.

Use this booklet to do your 10 minutes practice for 10 days during the Easter
holidays, and you’ll be ready for action when you get back to school.

Each day, after you’ve completed the arithmetic and the reasoning
section, ask an adult to mark your work initially using the mark scheme in your pack.

Fix any corrections you have made before you mark these corrections yourself.

This is important so you know what you can do and what you still need to work on.

Continue to read every day of the holidays and record this in your reading books.
