At Blackwood Primary School, pupils are normally set homework on a Monday and should hand it back in on the Friday. Homework mostly consists of a Literacy and Numeracy task and something topic related.

Primary 7 website club have worked hard to put together a list of different websites which you may find helpful to support you when doing your homework. We have grouped them as Literacy, Numeracy and Other Curricular Areas.

Internet Safety

“The No1 item on all parents/carers minds when children are using the web is Internet Safety.  It is of extremely important to us here at Blackwood Primary School too.  We urge ALL parents/carers to sit with their child and visit Childline and CEOP websites and read the very important internet safety guidelines.  If you, as a pupil, are ever concerned about anything that happens online, speak to a parent, teacher or someone you trust immediately. You can also report online behaviour on the CEOP website using the click and report button.”
