    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 and complete your Numeracy Certificate tasks. 

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

    Mondays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks 
    Tuesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks 
    Wednesdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks
    Thursdays: 2 x Maths Buddy Tasks
