The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in Wednesday 12 January.
I can talk about the features of a non-fiction book.
We will be focussing on information texts for the next two weeks. The children have been introduced to the main features this week but will benefit from some more examples at home.
Why not visit the local library to look through some non-fiction books?
We’ll be talking about what they’ve done all week, next week.

This week’s homework is creative and links to the literacy learning that we have been doing in class. It is due in on Wednesday 12 January 2011.
I can write a kenning poem.
A kenning poem describes something without giving its name away. It uses verbs ending in ‘er’.
Here is an example similar to the ones we looked at in class:
A loud-barker
A swift-sprinter
A mud-roller
A cat-chaser
A tail-wagger
Think of your own animal. Now write a kenning poem about your animal. Remember to think of all the verbs (doing words) that your animal does and then add ‘er’ to the end of them.
Adjectives/ Adverbs group: Try to use your ambitious vocabulary. Can you think of even better words eg eater could also be scoffer or gobbler. (Remember your hyphens too!)

Your homework this week is creative and is due on Wednesday 12 January.
I can express my opinions about our topic Snowbound.
We are starting our new topic and need some work to show our opinions about Snowbound to start a display in the classroom.
You need to stick to the rules about homework taking up no more than one page of A4. However, if necessary, the page can be extended downwards if you need more space.
Things you could complete for our creative display:
- Art: a snow scene.
- A piece of writing about being involved in an avalanche.
- A newspaper report about being trapped in the snow.
- Some graffiti style art work in a snowy or icy style
- Poetry inspired by snow or ice or an avalanche.
Or…your own idea!
Holidays approaching…
…so there are no spelling lists, tables or other homework this week.
Enjoy reading, writing (and possibly making?) Christmas cards, reflecting on this term’s topics and other activities.

I would like to see the children come up with some creative story mountains to structure their favourite traditional story.
Here are a few ideas:
- Pictures of each stage of the story mountain.
- Comic strip of each stage of the mountain.
- Main characters at different places on the story mountain.
These ideas are only a guide; it’s completely up to you how you want to create your story mountain.
