This week homework is Practice Makes Perfect.
I can work out range, mean, mode and median.
We’ve been learning how to work out averages and ranges in class in maths. We need a little more work on it to make the learning secure.
Children have been learning how to find the mode, mean, median and range of a set of numbers and have been given some work to complete at home to supplement their learning in school.
All information needed to complete the work is on the sheet that has been given to the children.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 16 Novemebr.

The homework this week is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in Wednesday 16 November.
I know my x6, x7, x8 and x9 tables.
So…we’ve finally got there. We’ve completed all the tables (including x9 this week) and now it’s time to put your child’s speed and accuracy to the test.
Your child should have a times table quiz sheet stuck into their homework book entitled “Learn the 6, 7, 8 and 9 Times Tables”.
Practise your 9s for a bit before you give this a go. Your child should aim to be able to complete this work sheet in 1 minute and 30 seconds. If they don’t, keep practising until they do because, as we all know, Practice Makes Perfect!

This week’s homework is Talk Time. It’s due on Wednesday 16 November.
My favourite story / fairy story is…
Talk Time homework doesn’t need lots of evidence in the homework books; sometimes, just a comment from an adult to say you’ve discussed it is enough.
Here are some tips:
- Ask other family members to give their opinions and to use the ‘because’ word.
- Ask your child his / her opinion and ask them to use the ‘because’ word.
- Link the topic back to something you remember from when you were a child and say why things may be different now.

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 November 2011.
I can use adverbs.
Adverbs often end in ‘ly’ and they describe verbs (which are actions or ‘doing words’). You could use the ones you had for your homework last week.
Here are a few ideas:
- Put adverbs at the end of a sentence: Year Two did their homework happily.
- Put adverbs in the middle of a sentence: Year Two happily did their homework.
- Put adverbs at the beginning of sentences. Happily, Year Two did their homework.
- Create a poster of different adverbs.
- Take photographs of yourself doing something and label with different adverbs.
