So inspired by this recent thread we thought we'd do a quick poll. Please please can you fill it in you lovely people, at less than 5 mins it's way less homework than usual. (Plus if you do you'll be entered into this week's comp to win a Dyson!)

most of the answers didn't really apply as my eldest is pre school. BUT i feel very strongly about primary school homework so felt compelled to fill it in!

hmm yes see what you mean

maybe should be reading/spelling/tables?

Hmm - have done it now but not happy with the choice of answers at Q3 (there's no pleasing some people )

I agree that ages 4-7 need reading homework, but not that they need tables or spellings.

I think ages 7-9 need reading (if not on free reading by then), spellings & tables.

Ages 9-11 should be doing some homework to prepare them for what they'll get at secondary school, but not too much, & mostly in Y6 only.
