This week’s homework is Talk Time and will be discussed on Tuesday 21 May.
I can talk about careers.
As part of our themed Money Week, we’ll be discussing where money comes from which will involve talking about careers. At home, discuss what career you have now and whether it is the same career you hoped you’d have when you were ten. Talk about the decisions you’ve made in your life to take you on the path to your current workplace and what path your child might have to take to get them to their desired career.
For Talk Time homework, children should write a few bullet-pointed notes which will help them take part in our class discussion.

I can recommend a book.
As part of our reading lessons this week, we’ve been discussing our favorite books, authors and explaining why we like them so much.
Children should think about:
- which book is their favorite (fiction or non-fiction) with reasons why
- if there is a book they could recommend that is important to their family or culture
- if there is a book with illustrations they really like
- provide information on the author
- say why reading is important to them
This is due in on Thursday 16 May 2019.

This week’s homework is a little different. As Year 6 will be taking their SATs next week, we’ve discussed areas we need to remind ourselves of over the course of the week as well as the importance of making time for relaxation and sleep
Choose five areas of maths and grammar to remind yourself of over the week. Only spend 15 minutes at a time practising that skill.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and will be discussed in class on Thursday 16 May.
If you were given the opportunity to go to space, where would you go, what would you do and who would you take?
In Year 5, we’ve been learning all about space. Which planet do you have your eye on or are stars more your thing? Would you go in the name of science or a relaxing holiday? Would you even be brave enough to go at all? Have a chat with the people at home and find out their answers, too!

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in on Friday 10 May.
I can find fractions of amounts.
This is a recap of some maths learning we’ve done recently. For example:
“What is 2/3 of 12?
I know 1/3 of 12 is 4 so 2/3 must be 8.”
Children must read the real life situation and work out the answer. If you need any help, as always, come in and see me before the due date.

This week, homework is Talk Time and links with our Living and Learning statement for the week: I recognise mental health.

This week, the whole school has the same Creative homework: I can illustrate different emotions.
This homework, which links to our living and learning statement, is an opportunity for children to show that they can recognise, and show, different emotions. As humans, we display a huge-range of emotions. Sometimes, it’s obvious how we’re feeling. Sometimes, it’s trickier for us to show, or recognise, an emotion. This statement allows us to spend time thinking about the different emotions we experience and how we can recognise these accurately in ourselves and others.
Children could respond creatively to this in a range of ways:
- create a piece of art that shows a range of emotions
- take pictures of themselves (or others) displaying different emotions
- write a short-story in which a character shows lots of emotions
- Devise a poem, song or rap about emotions
- Create a comic strip to illustrate different emotions
Of course, there are many other ways in which children could respond. Children should be ready to celebrate their learning as part of their homework review by Friday 03 May 2019.
