Homework policy and guidelines
Homework will follow a formulaic pattern and will become very easy to understand what needs to be done on a daily basis.
Homework in 4th class should take 40-50 minutes and is a means of parents being aware of their child's learning. It is also a means of reemphasising particular concepts which were explored in school. If homework is taking longer than the specified time, then simply sign off and write a note in their homework journal.

Weekly homework assignments:
4 On a daily basis your child will have an exercise from Better Maths 4th Class & Better English 4th Class.
These tasks will be completed in either the specific books or on a homework copy.
There will be one piece of Irish homework per night which consists of 5 questions and answers. The homework will have been explained and should not be a cause of concern. This homework is one section in Léigh sa Bhaile Leabhar D, which will be written into the homework copy. Please ensure these books are maintained in a good order as they can be sold to the following 4th class next June.
There will be a weekly spelling test in both English and Irish. The Irish spelling test will be each Friday and will consist of 2 specific Irish verbs in their 5 tenses. This ensures a greater vocabulary and some grammatical understanding of Irish tenses and spelling rules. There will be a total of 10 words to be learned each week. If homework is taking longer than 50 minutes then please sign off at the end of the homework. If Maths is taking longer than 20 minutes then use a calculator!
