Home Learning
4Cs Home Learning
OrmPS Home Learning Principles:
- Recognises the wide range of after-school activities.
- Encourages positive family interactions.
- Allows relaxed time for children to pursue their own learning.
- Children need life skills as well as academic skills to cope with life beyond school and home.
- Parents and educators work together for the benefit of all children.
At Ormiston Primary, we have the 4Cs Home Learning Grid. The grid is made up of 12 squares, with each grid representing a new activity or goal that is either compulsory or one your child could choose to do. These activities are designed to be completed within a period of time appropriate to your child’s year group;
- Year 1 and 2: up to 10 minutes a day.
- Year 3 and 4: up to 20 minutes a day.
- Year 5 and 6: up to 30 minutes a day.
The 4Cs grid is for a period of two weeks:
- The shaded boxes are compulsory.
- Learners are encouraged to choose activities from each of the 4Cs over the two week period.
- Home Learning activities will not be marked formally by Learning Coaches, however, we encourage parents/caregivers to initial those activities completed.
- There will be an opportunity at the end of the two weeks for learners to celebrate what they have been doing at home with their peers and learning during their Habitat Hui.
