Our whole-school homework this week is:
Living and Learning:
This is the fourth (and final) ‘British value’ – values that are important in the UK and many countries.
Can you child imagine a country where we didn’t have rules and laws? Can you child link their understanding of the importance of rules and laws with other Living and Learning themes? Look back at previous themes: school rules, protected characteristics, rights and responsibilities…
Older children should check out this BBC video about the rule of law.
Reading: please make sure your child is reading on a daily basis.
Number Fact Fluency: use Numbots or Times Table Rock Stars in regular short bursts.
Talk Time:
This week’s Talk Time is about Science – and we’re looking for signs of the changing seasons. You’re going to be a season detective and your job is to observe how the world changes as winter turns into spring.
Why not try some of the following ideas to observe the changing seasons:
- Look outside each day. What is the weather like? In winter it is often cold, frosty or snowy. As spring arrives, you might notice warmer days, sunshine and more rain.
- Look at plants and trees. In winter many trees have no leaves. In spring, you may see buds, new green leaves and colourful flowers starting to grow.
- Listen carefully when you are outside. In winter it is often quiet. In spring you might hear birds singing, bees buzzing or frogs croaking. These sounds tell us animals are becoming more active.
- Think about how you feel. What clothes do you wear in winter? Do you wear different clothes in spring?
Try to spot these changes happening around you and talk about them with an adult.
