Knowledge Organisers and Homework

This is your half termly homework booklet to complete your homework.

The booklet clearly sets out your tasks alongside a homework timetable, so you know what homework you have each evening. You will also be given a separate knowledge organiser booklet. Look at your homework timetable each day. You will spend approximately 30 minutes for each subject timetabled or a maximum of an hour in total on your homework each evening.

Use your knowledge organiser booklet, which contains information to be learned in each subject, alongside your homework booklet to complete your work. The homework booklet will be checked (likely to be in your next lesson) and the knowledge you have learned will be referred to in your lessons to reinforce your understanding.
