The homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect.

This week, we would like you to write expanded noun phrases (ENPs) about a monster. An ENP is a phrase that makes describing something more interesting. For example, teeth (a noun), can be expanded with some interesting adjectives and an article: lots of spine-chilling, razor-sharp teeth (article + adjective(s) + noun). You need to write two ENPs describing the monster’s face, two describing its body/clothes, two describing its behaviour and two describing its voice/movement/smell. Use your imagination or use Minotaur from the famous Greek myth as inspiration – this is the story which our mazes are based from. You can email your teacher if you want to ask any questions! oliwain@spherefederation.org or paulwilks@spherefederation.org

The homework, this week, is creative and is due on Thursday 22 October.

Our Living and Learning statement this week has been…

This forms part of current Living and Learning lessons about mental health and how we feel. Self care is about the things we can do to look after our own mental health.

For homework, we would like the children to play wellbeing bingo and try out some of the ideas below.

The children can choose how to present this.

  • Maybe a photo or picture of them trying a favourite technique.
  • Could they ask a family member which one they enjoy to do.
  • A sentence to explain the ideas that work for them and how they make them feel.
  • Pick their top five ideas and put them in order (using ordinal numbers from our maths learning – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th)

As we are currently not returning homework to school, please send this by email (carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org).

This week’s homework is talk time and moral-themed and links with our science lessons over the next couple weeks. We’ll be talking about how environments can change and that this can be a danger for living things.

The question to consider and discuss is:

Do humans have a negative impact on the earth? 

We’d like you to talk about whether humans contribute positively or negatively to the environment.

Do they have a positive or negative impact on the plants and animals in their localities?

Are things that we can do to have a more positive impact on the environment?

This week, the homework is Talk Time and should be completed by Thursday 08 October.

Are animals happy in zoos?

This is a moral question, based around our science learning about living things. which we’d like you to discuss at home with your child. During the discussion with your child, it’s important to appreciate that there may be two opposing views and that although it’s okay to disagree we should respect the opposing view.

Top Tips:

  • Turn the telly off!
  • Sit around the dining table!
  • Have a chat and share opinions and ideas!
  • Children should talk with family, friends and each other –maybe even using FaceTime or Skype.

There is no need to record anything in your child’s homework book from your discussions at home. The children will be able to share their views when we review the homework at the end of the week.

The homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in on Thursday 1st October. Please send to paulwilks@spherefederation.org.

In writing lessons, we have been reminding ourselves what a squashed sentence is. A squashed sentence is where two ‘chunks of information’ that make sense on their own haven’t been separated by a full stop or a conjunction. For example: Humpty climbed the wall he was very scared. This is a squashed sentence as it needs something in between wall and he. Instead, it should read: Humpty climbed the wall. He was very scared. OR Humpty climbed the wall and he was very scared (or a different, appropriate conjunction).
Your task is to correct the squashed sentences on this sheet. As an extra challenge, you could write some of your own sentences and check you haven’t squashed any!
