This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 09 March.
I can write dialogue.
Remember the steps:
“speech marks to open…
capital letter
spoken words
punctuation mark
…speech marks to close”
reporting clause
action/ender
full stop
eg “I’m lost in the labyrinth!” cried Sarah, darting her eyes back and forth.
It’s half term…
It’s half-term holidays next week, so there are no homework tasks or spellings next week.
Of course, regular practice and learning can still happen: reading each day, swimming, tables practice, trips to the library, walks around Roundhay Park… All will help your child have a happy and healthy holiday!

The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in Wednesday 16 February.
I can show why animals should or should not be in the circus.
Using the vocabulary from last week, the children should find a creative way to present their thoughts on animals in the circus.
You could:
- Make a convincing poster.
- Write a short letter to a ringmaster convincing him.

As always with Creative homework, the emphasis is on the original. Feel free to explore unique ways to present your homework.

This piece of work could be:
- Some art work

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

This week’s homework is talk time. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 February.
I know about stories set in imaginary worlds.
The children can think about stories in books or in films that feature imaginary worlds (eg. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland).
What do they have in common? What are the characters like? How do they get to the other world? What is the setting like?
This will help the children when we start our story unit next week!

The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in Wednesday 09 February.
I can have a discussion about animals in the circus using but, so and because.
This week, the children will be talking about whether it is right to have animals in the circus. We will also be using some tricky connectives like but, so and because so they should be practising these in advance.
There are other connectives, too – ‘On the other hand’, ‘However’ etc might be useful, too.
