Welcome

Welcome to the Kotahitanga Homework Blog. This blog has been created as a guide for students looking for extra practice at home.

The debate around Homework is ongoing.  This STUFF article from 2016 is just one example.
The Question of Homework

It is our belief that kids need time to just be kids.  Many of our Lepperton students are involved in extra-curricula activities and this is fantastic for their overall development.  We strongly encourage these interests outside of school.

Any homework needs to be relevant and engaging for our students.  It should support the learning they are doing in the classroom.  Students should be able to learn at their own pace and in multiple ways.

Each week we will post ideas that support the learning happening in the classroom.

Please remember, that homework is optional and should never impact on kids time to just be kids.
