This week’s homework is talk time.
Why is it always important to tell the truth?
This will be discussed as part of our SEAL lessons next week. If you have this conversation at home then it will give the children chance to think about it in advance.

Spellings and times tables.
I am not giving out new spellings or times tables this week as they have not been tested. This is because we’ve had lots of tests this week, one of which was spelling so we’ll test these spellings and times tables on Friday 23 May.

This week’s homework will be Talk Time.
I can evaluate my work.
Discuss with people at home what you are good at and what you think you could get better. Think about reading, writing and maths but also think about things in general; like football, drawing or following instructions.
Although this is Talk Time homework, I have given you a sheet to note down the things you’re good at and to think of one target for yourself for either reading, writing or maths. If I agree, we’ll then put this onto a target sticker on the front of your book.
Due Wednesday 21st May.

This week we will be going back over our ten times table.
Lots of us are familiar with this so make sure you learn division facts as well; for example:
- 2 x 10 = 20, so…
- 20 ÷ 10 = 2

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect.
For the last couple of days, we’ve been learning about weight and units of measurement. For homework, I would like the children to look around the kitchen cupboards to see the variety of different weights recorded on the packets. If they want to do a bit more, then they could weigh the packets to make sure the recorded weight is correct. They know that 1000 grams is the same as 1 kilogram so it would be useful to refer to this in your discussion when they are doing their homework.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 07 May.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 07 May.
I can answer questions about a text.
I’d like the children to carefully read the text they have been given and answer the questions – this will test their comprehension skills as well as reading. This is a great way to ensure your child is understanding what they’re reading whilst building on skills we’ve learnt throughout the year so far.

This week’s homework is creative and is due in on Wednesday 30 April.
What do you know about plants?
The current mini topic is all about plants – there has already been lots of soil and seeds in the Year 1 classroom and it was up to each child how they planted their seed. This will lead on to them realising the perfect conditions for growth. We would like to know what they know about plants – this can be presented in any way that you want. Remember to be as creative as you can.
