Homework:   
Maths Buddy is your priority for your at-home practice. Please complete your set homework tasks by Friday at 9:30am (Forest's homework routine has now changed to 'Due on Fridays & re-issued on Fridays' to allow you more time).  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your 'Ludi'  timetables programme. 

Here's my suggestion re: how to effectively distribute your weekly homework responsibilities this week...

Fridays at school during FFR time:  Maths Buddy Multi-Stand Revision Task (40 questions) and 1 x  IB plus 1 x RA
Mondays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks and 1 x See Reader
Tuesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks and 1 x See Reader
Wednesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks and 1 x See Reader
Thursdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Task, 1 x See Reader, 1 x IB plus 1 x RA
