This week we have two pieces of homework. Both are due on Thursday 26 January 2016.
The first piece is Creative:
I can present my family history.
This week, we started our Time Travel topic. Although we’re focusing on entertainment, the main driver for the topic is history. This homework gives children the opportunity to do a little research of their own. We’ve discussed some ways to respond to this homework creatively in class:
- create a family tree
- write a short report based on your family
- celebrate your family’s cultural roots through a poster, song or video
- create a presentation board about your family’s history
- research one family member’s life in detail and write about this person
The second piece of homework is Practice Makes Perfect:
I can make inferences.
Have a go at the comprehension activity at home before we go through in class on Thursday.
Remember to read the text thoroughly and try to back up your answers using evidence from the text when necessary. Also, check your own understanding by seeing if you can explain your answer to somebody else in your family. To make sure this impacts on your learning, notice what you’re confident with and what you might need to practise so that we can discuss this in class and you know yourself what to work on.
