Year 9Term 4 Homework Pack

Greenacre Academy intends homework to be diverse in nature, focusing on more project-based work which will be on-going over a number of weeks. This booklet includes homework from each subject that your son / ward studies at school. Our ExpectationsStudents must complete and submit homework pieces from each project as their teacher directs. Teachers will inform students when each piece of homework is due in and this will be recorded in their planners. Please also note that some tasks in the booklet are subject to change, and this will be done so at the discretion of the teacher. This would occur on occasions where a different task may be more beneficial to your son/ward’s learning.

As well as the three Homework Tasks, there are some additional activities for each subject.

Reading ListStudents should read for at least 30 minutes each night. Reading frequently will help students to develop their vocabulary and literacy skills. Please encourage you son / ward to read. Suggested reading material has been included within the projects for each subject.Stretch & ChallengeStudents are encouraged to push themselves, completing more tasks where they see fit. If they have a particular interest or gift in a given area, students should be encouraged to complete the stretch and challenge task.

Skills for LifeAs part of the Academy’s implementation of ‘Skills for Life’, each subject-area has carefully thought about activities and tasks to integrate particular skills into their schemes of work. To help promote this, the completion of the homework tasks will help your son/ward develop these certain skills. The Skills for life focus is EMPLOY ME -

Excellence, Manners, Perseverance, Listening, Organisation, You, Motivation and Employability

Study RoomIf your son/ward needs help with homework or a quiet place to study we run a homework club every weekday from 2.50-3.50 in the Library.

Queries? If you have any queries about the homework projects please get in touch with the relevant teacher using the email address provided for each subject. Thank you for your continued support of Homework.
