In P2, our equivalent of first grade: some reading every night (usually a minimum of just a few pages specified), 10 or so (appropriate) spelling words to learn once a week, plus an obligation on us to have him to "some appropriate maths" each day (usually either on the computer or orally on the bus). Nothing written. Piano practice daily. He used to stay at school for a club until 4pm twice a week, and otherwise finish at 3pm; he was (and is) in principle in bed by 7.30pm to get up at 6.30am.
