This week’s homework is creative. Please make sure it is handed in by Wednesday 11 June.
What was the seaside like in the past?
Remember, you can be as creative as you like:
- a picture detailing what the seaside might have looked like in the past
- a collage of pictures that you find on the internet
- a poster advertising “Punch and Judy”
- a timeline showing how the seaside might have changed
- a mirror image – one side showing the seaside today and the other showing the seaside in the past
We are looking forward to seeing what you have learnt about how the seaside has changed.

This week’s homework is creative(ish) and is due Wednesday 11 June.
I can research a cyclist from the Tour de France.
The homework requires your child to complete a mini-research project on a well-known cyclist from the Tour de France. Your child has been given a booklet with certain information they must find out. Encourage your child to look in newspapers, magazines or online to investigate the life of their chosen cyclist.
The research your child uncovers will help inform next week’s Literacy lessons.

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:

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.
