The home work this week is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 16 January.
I know how I am going to take reponsibility for my learning this year.
Our SEAL statement this week has been about taking reponsibility for our learning. As it’s the start of the year and a time for new starts and new year resolutions, we thought it would be a good time to think about how we can take responsility for our learning and set some targets for ourselves for the new year.
Examples could be:
- Making sure that I read at home with an adult every day.
- Reducing the number of warnings I get.
- Giving out 3 friendship tokens every day.
- Pushing myself harder in literacy lessons.
For talk time homeworks, children don’t have to write anything in their homework books but many find that writing down some ideas and prompts helps them to contribute during the discussion we have as a class.

Remember: all objects are made from a type of material (glass, wood, metal, pottery etc).

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 January 2013.
Your child will have one of the following homework objectives depending on which one they are working on at the moment:
- I know the 2 times table.
- I know the 5 times table.
It’s Christmas…
…so enjoy the break.
We don’t give homework or spellings and tables to learn during holidays. Instead, we hope you all enjoy the break and spend some fabulously festive family time, whether it’s playing board games, enjoying a book or two or simply relaxing in front of the telly for a treat.

This week’s homework is slightly different as it’s Practice makes Perfect.
I know the difference between no and know.
I want your child to be able to distinguish between no and know. In the children’s writing this week, some have struggled with writing the correct homophone.
Here are a couple of activities that you can do to test whether your child knows the difference:
- Write no on a piece of paper and on the back write know. Then, read out a sentence and they have to show you whether they need to use no or know.
- Write a sentence and leave a gap in the middle for your child to place either no or know.
The children don’t have to write anything in their books, but they will be tested on iPads on Friday 14 December.
