This week we have two homeworks as normal (our final homework of 2016).
The first is Creative:
I can prove I use the 8Rs outside of school.
This homework will help children to see that the 8Rs are useful for life in general and not just learning. They could respond in numerous ways:
- make a collage of images showing them using each R for learning
- make a short documentary in which they demonstrate how they use the 8Rs outside school
- make a poster that promotes the application of the 8Rs to everyday life
These are just a few, simple suggestions. I’m sure you, and your children, will have a wonderful array of creative responses to this statement.
The second is ‘Mathletics‘:
Children should complete these two tasks.
- Bar model (x and ÷) – this is using the bar model to help children solve word problems.
- Money problems: 4 operations with £ – these are all problems involving money.
Again, if you have any problems, do not hesitate to contact me. I will endeavour to resolve them. However, some problems such as technical issues may be beyond my control.
