What is a homework diary, and how can it benefit my pupils?

As the UK’s top supplier of school exercise books , supplementary reading materials , personalised school books , and homework diaries ; and here at EPSL , we know that homework diaries are by far one of the most useful organisational tools that your pupils can own. They’re the perfect way of tracking out-of-school learning, and provide a clear line of communication between teachers and parents. So, what exactly is a homework diary?

A quick definition

Simply put, homework diaries are an organisational tool that allow teachers, students, and parents to keep track of home learning tasks. Our ‘My School Homework Diary’ has a timetable and space for recording homework, important dates and making notes. The diary also includes a list of multiplication tables, as well as room for each child to record their favourite books, CDs and films as a fun addition. Homework diaries are your pupil’s best friends from an organisational point of view.

How do homework diaries help pupils?

Homework diaries are essential pieces of equipment for pupils all the way from primary school age until sixth form or college. They provide students with a range of benefits, including:

• Development of organisational skills - a homework diary instils a sense of responsibility in pupils, as it gives them the opportunity to take control of their own home learning tasks. As they progress through the school years, they’ll be set with more homework, which will eventually turn into revision for exams. So, getting your pupils into the habit of keeping track of their home learning from an early age prepares them for exam life as they move through their education.
• Reduces stress - the primary aim of a homework diary is to help your pupils keep track of their home learning tasks, it’s also the ideal tool for helping students plan their time so they know when they can relax and unwind. If you give your students deadlines for completing certain tasks, then your pupils will be able to plan their time accordingly, and reduce their stress levels.

Where can I purchase a homework diary?

Right here of course! We can’t stress enough how important it is to get pupils used to recording their home learning in a diary from an early age - it’s an unbelievably valuable skill that will help them massively in the future when it comes to revising for exams, studying in university, and generally taking responsibility for their own time management!

It all starts with your influence in the classroom, and while you’re busy encouraging your students to make full use of their homework diaries, we’ll continue to produce our huge range of school exercise books, personalised exercise books, and supplementary reading material to students of all ages so they have everything they need to achieve greatness in the classroom. Take a look through what we’ve got available on our site - and if you have any questions, feel free to give us a call on 01254 686 500. We’re always happy to help!

What is a Homework Diary?

• Teaching Strategies, Tactics, and Methods

A homework diary is essential for students to remind them of their responsibilities and tasks they must complete in the evening. They also allow parents to get involved with their child’s studies and be aware of what is required.

What to write in a Homework Diary?

It may seem obvious to write the homework task in a homework diary, but there are also other important factors to include, such as:

• Details of the homework task
• When the homework is due
• Parent and teacher signature

Details of the Homework Task 

It may not be helpful for students to write down ‘English Homework’ as they may forget what they may have been asked to read or study. Instead, they should write down ‘read chapter 1 of (name of the book)’ or ‘write a paragraph or summary on the chapter of (name of the book).’ Being more specific about the assignment will make it easier for them when they get down to completing it.

As students get older, their homework will become more difficult and include more detail. Therefore, teachers should ensure that students have written everything they need; for example, if the task was to ‘read the handout,’ questions like: which handout? What is the handout about? Are there any questions about it? Doing this will ensure that students become self-sufficient and can do it next time without being reminded.

When the Homework is Due

Students need to note when the homework is due so they can time-manage themselves and not get into trouble for forgetting and falling behind.

Most of the time, homework tasks are set for the next day, which is simple to remember; however, if students are selected for bigger projects that take a few weeks to complete, parents can help children set mini-deadlines to focus on certain aspects of the task.

Parent and Teacher Signature

Including both a parent and teacher signature box in a homework diary means that parents can feel confident that their child has written the correct amount of detail of the homework task if their teacher has signed it. Vice versa, if a student’s parent has signed the homework diary, the teacher knows they have completed the noted assignments.

Introducing homework.

Homework are Michael, Santiago, Andrew and Lizzie, a 4-piece band from Glasgow that came to my attention back in October when a couple of people I follow on social media raved about them.

The band have a busy period coming up, with a string of gigs including bringing in the bells with a Glas-goes Pop show at Mono with Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake. Homework then keep momentum going with a gig as part of King Tuts New Year Revolution shows on 27th January.

So they are clearly getting their name out and about the Glasgow scene. That stems from the release of a self-titled 3-track EP via Gold Mold Records back in March 2023.

It has a delicious warm, melodic, fuzzy, slacker vibe to it. Think early Fanclub meets Pavement on a sunny day after a couple of cans of beer.

I was keen to find out a little more, so sent the band an email and they kindly got back to me.

If you read this in time you can catch them at BLOC on Wednesday 6th December.

When and how did you form?

The first two proto-Homework line-ups were formed in parallel back in 2019. On one end, Santiago (guitar) met Forbes (drums) at a cowboy themed party, and they started jamming as a noise duo. On the other end, Forbes was also playing with his primary school friend Michael (guitar).

Forbes cunningly merged these two projects together and recruited his friend Tom (bassist) formalising homework in early 2020. Covid unexpectedly hit before our first gig in april, Forbes moved to Estonia, and Tom to Aberdeen. This left Santiago and Michael playing occasional Maxwell Park acoustic jams before moving back to the studio in summer 2021.

Lizzie (30) was having a mid-life crisis and had just re-taken up the drums, her friend Izzy mentioned that we were looking for a drummer and one awkward email later, she was in. Izzy followed by taking up the bass and for a short period, our rhythm section had 4 zs!

Santiago was at the pub on a date and bumped into his old pal Alec and his brother Andrew (bassist). He started banging on about how great Pavement are, and how we needed a bassist to play on his birthday the following week. Andrew tentatively agreed to play, learning all the songs in a day, and was inducted into homework after quite a stellar performance.

2. Are you all involved in writing songs? How do you write/form your songs?

Santiago, Michael and Andrew are all songwriters. Lizzie plays the drums.

The process itself is quite collaborative with a no-front-person policy. Sometimes someone comes with a fragment of an idea, or a whole song, and we spend a lot of time jamming to figure them out. There is always quite a lot on the workbench and we love jumping from song to song. Every rehearsal is recorded and archived, so we can work on ideas at home individually. Extremely crucial to our process is spending a lot of time faffing about.

3. You've released one EP to date. Do you have any further releases in the pipeline?

Yes! Double a side single release, and a party for it in some near-future Glasgow 2024.

4. You have a busy run of shows into February including a couple of big ones at Mono with Norman Blake and then Tuts in January. What do you enjoy about playing live?

We like the general buzz that comes with hopping on the stage and putting up a good energetic show. We like to keep it quite relaxed, with a healthy dose of fuzzy chaos. One of the best parts is that we get to meet other people in great bands, hang out in a group and drink free beer. The conversations with people who you don't know after the shows adrenaline rush are really motivating.

We love really complimentary Dads. Shout out to the Dads, truly our strongest demographic.

5. Do you have much of a plan, or are you going with the flow?

We've got plans... We've got a gig coming up in London early next year, and would love to do more gigs outside of Glasgow *wink wink* promoters *wink wink* festivals *wink wink*

6. What music are you enjoying listening to at the moment?

Michael's been listening to MJ Lenderman, Bar Italia, Happyness,

Andrew has been listening to Second Grade, Ginger Root, Hotline TNT.

Santiago's been listening to this up and coming band called The Beatles, Autechre, Silver Jews, Kelora, Model/Actriz, and Beach House.

Lizzie's been listening to Divorce, Mega Bog, Dua Lipa's new one, and Beach House.

We have a playlist for this: Homework listens

7. Are there any other bands on the Glasgow scene you'd recommend checking out?

There are so many! As tempting as it is to rattle off a massive list of all our pals, we're wary of unintentionally offending anyone we'd inevitably forget. Come to our gig and well tell ya off the record : ) ; ) But we have a playlist for this to get you started: The Glasgow Scene
