This week’s homework is creative and is due in on Wednesday 17 November.
I can design a bus or train that is good for the environment.
Ideas that we came up with as a class included:
- Harnessing animal power to move the vehicle
- Using manpower to move the vehicle in a Flintstones style pick-it-up-and-run-with-it way!
- Using old vegetables as fuel
- Making trains and buses at least double decker to maximise the number of passengers per journey
It is up to you how you present your ideas. You could draw and label the vehicle, explaining the special features. You could make a collage using different materials. You could make a prototype – which was an ambitious idea by one of our class members – and photograph this for your homework book!
(Don’t forget our rule: homework should ‘fit’ onto one side of the homework book, but could have flaps and accessories that extend this!)
Good luck! I will look forward to seeing what your creative minds come up with this week!

This week, it’s Talk Time homework and will be discussed and reviewed on Wednesday 18 November.
I can talk about toys from other countries.
- What toys do children have in other countries?
- Are any of them the same as the ones we have in England?
- Which of our toys come from outside England? How do you know?
- How much do toys cost in other countries?
Why not inspect your toy to see if you can find any clues?

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 17 November.
I can practise my letter formation for ‘a’ and ‘e’.
Remember, our Handwriting Guide is easy to follow and a great way to support your child. Children have told us that with better handwriting they feel more confident and proud of their learning!

Your homework this week is Creative and is due in on Wednesday 17 November.
I can get into role and express myself as a Victorian character.
Next week, we are having a Victorian Day. Children have been asked to come dressed as a Victorian character and produce a piece of work about their character. They will be asked to talk about their work for five minutes on Victorian Day.
This piece of work could be:
- A PowerPoint
- A biography
- A timeline
- A cartoon strip about your life in Victorian times
- An interview with you answering questions about your life
or, of course, your own idea!
Have fun!
Remember: stick to one page in your homework book and extend the page if you need to!

When we talked as a class we came up with some ideas. Ideas included:

Best of luck! I will look forward to seeing what you have done on Wednesday.
