The homework this work is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 26 September.
I know three interesting facts about myself.
We would like to find out more about the children and their interests so children should talk to people at home and decide on three interesting facts about themselves. We’ll then discuss them in class and we’ll find out a bit more about each other!

The homework this week is Creative and is due in Wednesday 19 September.
I can present the water cycle in a creative way.
This week, we’ve been investigating the water cycle. We have tested some of the changes of state that water goes through. We want you to come up with a creative way of showing this cycle. It’s completely up to you how you want to do this, but here’s a few ideas if you’re struggling:
- a photo collage of all the different stages of the water cycle
- a PowerPoint presentation
- a comic strip
- a podcast
Good luck!

This week’s homework is another creative one; we have had an interesting scientific week looking at materials and their properties. We know that the children have enjoyed the learning and would like to know what they have remembered and learnt.
I can show what I know about solids, liquids and gases.
Remember, your learning can be shown in many different ways:
- a poster
- a model
- an investigation
- a diagram
- a mindmap
These are just a few examples – let your creative juices flow!
This homework is to be handed in by Wednesday 19 September; no excuses this week.

This’s week homework is creative. We would like to find out more about the children and their interests. It should be handed in by Wednesday 12 September.
“I can show something interesting about myself.”
Just a quick reminder for our new friends at Moortown: homework should not be more than one page of A4 and can be as creative as you like.
We look forward to finding out more about our children.

The homework this week is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 12 September.
I can think of ways to save water at home.
Our first mini-topic of the year is about water. We have talked about how some people do not have easy access to clean water like we do in this country. We have also discussed how we still need to save water where we can and looked at some ways we could do this at school. Now the children have to think about how they can do this at home.
Top tips for talk time homework:
- Turn the telly off!
- Sit around the dining table and talk through the different views whilst having a meal.
- Have a chat and share opinions and ideas! Children should talk with family, friends and each other.
(Your child might want to make some notes in their Homework Books – although they don’t need to, this might help them when we have a discussion about the topic back in the classroom.)

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 12 September.
I can show something interesting about myself.
We will be spending the next two weeks learning about ‘Ourselves’. I thought it would be a good idea for the children to start the topic creatively and show something interesting or special about themselves.
Here are some ideas that we came up with as a class when we talked about the homework:
- A poster
- Draw a picture
- A list of family members/toys etc
- A photograph
I look forward to seeing your creations on Wednesday.
