This week, the homework is Talk Time and should be completed by Thursday 06 May.
Is it ok to throw fruit on the ground?
This is a moral question, based partly around our science learning, about seeds and the cycle of plant growth, which we’d like you to discuss at home with your child. You might consider:
Is this litter or is it food for wildlife?
Could it harm wildlife?
Would it rot and smell?
During the discussion with your child, it’s important to appreciate that there may be opposing views and that although it’s okay to disagree, we should respect the opposing view.
This moral question forms part of our SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) learning.
Top Tips for talktime homework:
- Turn the telly off!
- Sit around the dining table!
- Have a chat and share opinions and ideas!
- Children should talk with family, friends and each other –maybe even using FaceTime or Skype.
There is no need to record anything from your discussions at home. The children will be able to share their views when we review the homework in class next Thursday.
