There will be no homework or spellings over the half term but if you want to do some work with your child, here are some suggestions.
- Read every day, asking questions about what is happening and how they feel about the book.
- Whenever you use numbers (cooking, shopping, temperature etc…) discuss them with your child. What do they know about that number? How much is it? How much change do I need? Is it colder or warmer?
- Encourage them to write. Maybe they could keep a diary for one day of the holidays and we can stick it into our class diary so that everybody could read it.

This week’s homework is talk time.
There has been lots of learning going on in art this week. There are so many artists who have drawn and painted faces. Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted faces using images of fruit. Here is one of them:
How does it make you feel?
Do you like it? Why?
What does it make you think of?
These are just some questions to help you talk about the painting.
We are looking forward to hearing your views when we discuss this on Wednesday 16 October.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect.
Handwriting is very important and the sooner we get it right the better!
This week’s homework is practising round and back to form letters like a and c. If you are not sure about the handwriting scheme, please take a look at the website so that you are able to support your child – there is a very useful guide which goes through the basic rules that we follow.

This week our homework is practice makes perfect.
I can use a number line for addition.
We have been learning how to solve addition calculations on a number line this week. All of the children have completed similar calculations in lesson but a bit of extra practise will make sure we’re ready to take on a challenge next week. There are three calculations to complete, if you would like to do more that is great. Even better, why not try out the challenge and see how you do?
This homework is due on Wednesday 9th October.
Have fun you marvellous mathematicians!

This week’s homework is creative homework. Please make sure it is handed in by Wednesday 02 October 2013.
I can show how I can look after my body.
This homework is to encourage the children to think about what they can do to ensure that their body is as healthy as possible. This will then lead into their learning next week.

This week’s homework is Talk Time. The children need to discuss:
What would it be like to lose one of our senses?
As a reminder, nothing needs to be recorded in homework books (although the children can make notes if they wish to) but it would be useful to have a note from parents/carers to acknowledge that this question has been discussed. We will then talk about our discussions in next week’s homework review.
Top Tip
To imagine how it might be to lose our sight, we closed our eyes and let our friend guide us across the playground. Maybe you could try this sort of activity out at home for sight or one of the other senses.
This homework is due on Wednesday 02 October 2013.
