Your homework this week is talk time:
Should school uniform be banned?
In class we’ve learnt how to write balanced arguments. Discuss with your parents, or adults at home, your opinions about school uniform. Think of and discuss points that you agree with and points that you disagree with. Also think about a conclusion and the connectives that you would use in your discussion.
Make notes in your homework book to show the things you discussed and what you concluded.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 14 March.

The homework this week is talk time and also a little bit creative and should be completed by Wednesday 14 March:
I can prepare a one minute presentation on an animal.
This week, we were visited by some very special animals, some that we may never touch or see again. They included a slithery corn snake, the adorable sugar glider (which we saw eat some live bait!) and also a tarantula (sedated thankfully). These were fascinating creatures and we learnt a little bit about each of them. Your objective is to find out as much as you can about these creatures and prepare a one minute oral (that means speaking) presentation on your chosen animal.
There need be nothing in your homework book. All that is required is that you are able to speak for a minute on your chosen animal. Please come and speak to me if you have any questions. Good luck!

- An interview with you answering questions about as though you were Scott
- Your own even more creative idea!

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 29 February 2012.
Next week, on Thursday 01 March, it’s World Book Day. To celebrate, all the classes are having a themed day on the subject of reading. There will be lots of activities, including an invitation for your child to dress up as a favourite book character. Linked to this, we’d like all children in school to consider their favourite story and explain why…
I can say why I like a book.
You could create a comic strip, write a book review, draw a story map, write a letter to the author… Anything you like that celebrates reading!
As always, the creative homework should be on one side of the A4 Homework Books, although creative ways to extend this are allowed!
It’s the holidays…
…so there are no spellings or homework activities.
Instead, enjoy a winter walk, the marvellous Muppets movie, some cool culture at a gallery or museum… Enjoy the half-term break.
