The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in on Wednesday 29 June.
I can create a map of a journey I make.
Here are some ideas:
- Bird’s-eye view map of their route to their school / grandparent’s house etc on paper or on a computer.
- A constructed model of a familiar journey using Lego/K’nex etc.
- Another idea would be for you to make the journey, taking a picture every few minutes.
- Drawing your route is a great idea, too.
I look forward to seeing all the maps.

Or…your own even more creative idea!

The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in on Wednesday 29 June.
I can create a map of a journey I make.
As prospective navigators and explorers, your child will have to become accustomed to creating maps. This is your child’s chance to put their cartographic skills to the test and design a map of a familiar journey. Here are some ideas:
- Bird’s-eye-view map of their route to school / grandparent’s house / friend etc on paper or on a computer.
- A constructed model of a familiar journey using Lego/K’nex etc.
- Another (more elaborate) idea would be for you to make the journey, taking a picture every few seconds.
As always, these ideas are here to inspire you or help if you can’t think of anything. They are by no means compulsory.

I can discuss health issues at my school.
I have worked with members of our Health Group (made up of our School Councillors) to create the homework for this week – a health questionnaire.
As part of the next level of our Healthy Schools status we are working on a number of targets relating to obesity and emotional health.
Your views and responses to the health questionnaire will help us to be an even happier and healthier school.
Please discuss the issues raised in the questionnaire at home and record your views on the questionnaire provided. Return your completed forms to your class teacher.
We look forward to hearing your ideas and thoughts.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due in on Wednesday 15 June 2011.
I can talk about ‘old things’ in my community.
As an introduction to our topic this term, I want you to discuss the history of your community. ‘Old things’ can be anything that is not new, but if you’re struggling to come up with something, here are some suggestions:
- Older buildings in the local area. How do they compare with the modern ones?
- Older people in the community. Our elders can tell us a lot about what our community looked like before we were around. Why not ask someone you know who is older than you what your local environment looked like before you were around?
- Why not take a trip to the local library to look at some pictures of what your local community used to look like?
We will be learning about your local community this week, so make sure you find out some interesting facts!
