The homework this week is Creative and is due in Wednesday 26 January.

I can design a costume for a member of the circus.

The children have just learnt about materials so a discussion on what everything is made of will be productive.  Here are some suggestions but, as always, the more creative the better!

• A costume for a clown including separate designs for their hat and equipment.
• A costume for a ring master including their cape and top hat.
• You could design clothes for animals in your circus.

One way to make this homework excellent would be to include labels and descriptions of materials used.

• Where it would be on a food chain
