Just trying to get a bit of a feel as what's 'normal'
I have a ds in Y1 and a dd in Y3.
When my dd was in Y1, for homework she got weekly
Spellings (around 6 - 8 words)
Reading (if they read 3 times a week they got a certificate)
Extra homework over half term/Easter hols to 'build' something etc.
Now my ds in the same Y1 class as my dd was with the same teacher. They've had all the same spellings, reading etc but never any holiday homework.
I don't mind at all. In fact, the school has recently recieved a higher ofsted rating and both my dcs are doing well.
However, when I saw my dsil recently she exclaimed surprise at how 'little' my dcs were doing. Her dcs are in Y3 and Reception. She says her dc in Reception gets much more - reading, spellings, maths, even science. In fact she complained about finding time to do it all.
They are all in state primaries.
So what's a 'normal' amount. I'm happy with our current homework level, but would like to know about others experience.
