+Responses to Takeaway Home Learning

“I like the homework because you can choose the level of the homework and you can also choose the piece of homework each week” Girl, year 6

“I think its good because you can choose what level of work you want as long as it is balanced” Boy, year 6

“I think it’s good you can choose the activity and I think it’s good you can choose your limit of challenge. I have enjoyed doing the activities because I don’t get told what to do. I like that it is all organised. I like seeing how well I’m doing on our class sticker chart” Girl, year 4
