Organising homework and dinner for the kids can be a struggle at times, so we’ve been trialling a new Homework and Supper club to make it less of a chore! The supper club brings together parents and children to do homework then share a meal. The four week pilot was held at Howdenburn Primary School in Jedburgh and was supported by Scottish Borders Council Community Learning and Development and Outside the Box.

The project was attended by three families who felt that this approach was fun, enjoyable and a practical approach to doing homework! The children taking part in the pilot looked forward to attending homework club and were all really engaged in completing their homework quickly then having a meal. The children even got involved in the preparing of the meal when they constructed their own pizzas.
