Year group HomeworkAt the beginning of each half term, the Knowledge Organiser for the Imaginative Learning Project (ILP) is sent home for all year groups. This is also available on the school website. Any of the optional homework tasks are extra tasks that can be completed if desired.

White Rose Practice Journals and CGP books should be marked at home by parents/carers. Teachers will then look over the books at school and work with children addressing key areas.
