My DD and I are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of homework she gets every night. It's not a one off. Every night she gets something like this:
- Count in 2s from 0-32
- Worksheet on synonyms: read a short explanation of synonyms. Connect 4 pairs of synonyms by drawing a line between them (adore / love, sweater/jumper, truck/lorry, etc.). Find a synonym for 4 words: boat, ugly, exhausted, pebble.
- Read aloud 6 pages of a text book about children around the world and their education systems
- Finish learning off by heart a 20 line poem (which has been homework every night since Monday)
How does this compare with what your children in Yr 2 have to do?
