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.

The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in Wednesday 30 November.
I can create a ‘Peaceful Problem Solving’ poster.
This is in response to our SEAL theme this week of ‘keeping calm’ and in preparation of next week’s ‘problem solving’ theme. I would like you to come up with posters for our SEAL wall which inform our school community on how to solve problems.
Here are some ideas for the poster, but feel free to do something even more original:
- A step by step guide for solving problems.
- Instructions of what to do if something goes wrong.
- A cartoon of a character that made the right choices in their problem.
- A poster that persuades children to make the right choices.
Wow me with your creativity, Year 2!
