For me, with 3 in school, all who leave 'school at school', hate homework time!

So we get home, they unpack their bags, pack their lunches (except sandwich and fruit, which I do), get school clothes ready.

one by one I sit down to do homework while the other 2 have a snack. They take turns in who goes first.

DD1 has 1 long book to read + word lists and times tables (usually she reads the book in the car on the drive home and then read another book once home)
DD2 has 2 medium sized books + sight wirds
DS has 1 short book

Homework takes around 40 minutes to do. By 5 PM they are out in the backyard. 530 shower. Dinner on the table around 615 and we are done by 7. Kids have quiet time in their rooms until 730 then bed.
