Has your DC got home work for secondary school even though they dont start until September?

My DN has. She has to write an essay about the Olympics opening ceremony and she didnt even watch it. I broke into a sweat tonight and wanted to write it for her. Is this normal now?

Oh, sorry, I read it as "Starting secondary" - meaning before they start Yr7, not the older dc.

My two DS both have . One will be going into year 13 he's been given maths and biology to do. The other will be in year 11 and he has been given homework.... Not sure what he's got to do.

Neither of my dc had to do any (one end of Yr11, one end of Yr8) and nor have I heard any other parents mentioning it (have another dc still at Primary).
