1 hour per week. There will be an optional homework after each class, as children will have the opportunity to carry on the writing or reading techniques that we have learnt in the lesson. If they choose to do this and then they can photograph and upload their work to the classroom through google docs and I will be more than happy to provide them with feedback.Assessment
