This week, homework for Year 3 and Year 4 is Talk Time and is linked to the upcoming production: Fe Fi Fo Fum!
I know my lines, lyrics to the songs, and where I need to be for the Easter production.
As next week is the last week of rehearsals, we expect each child to have learnt their lines, words to the songs and where they need to be. Any extra practice you can get in at home will greatly support your child. Please ask your class teacher if you have lost your script so we can get you a new one to support this learning at home.

Our homework this week is Creative: I can show my talents.
All of the children in our school are blessed with an array of talents. This week, our homework, which links to our Living and Learning statement (I can recognise my talents), gives our children the opportunity to celebrate and share their talents. Children should respond creatively and be ready to show off their talents to their peers as part of their homework review. They could do this in a range of ways:
- create a short performance to show to the class
- film themselves showing off their talent
- make a collage of their many talents
- produce a piece of art to show off their talents
There are, of course, many other ways that children could respond. Children should be ready to show off their talents by Thursday 21 March 2019.

The homework this week is creative and links to our very arty class novel topic.
I can create a piece of art that reflects a feeling or mood.
You could do some sketching or a painting. You could create a piece of digital art or even a sculpture. When thinking about the feeling or mood, consider the colours that you use and the the type of marks that you make.

This week’s homework is Creative and will be discussed in class on Friday 15 March: I can say something good about myself.
This week in Living and Learning, we’ve been saying things that are good about ourselves. We have been sharing these in class and have talked about being confident when doing this. Have a discussion with your child about what they think is good about themselves. Then, show it in a creative way! Here are some ideas:
- a diagram
- a poster
- a video
- draw a picture
- write a poem
Get ready to share this on Friday 15 March 2019.

This week, our whole school homework is Creative: I can present a summary of our class novel so far.
Every class in our school is currently enjoying their class novel topic. As such, we’ve read quite a bit of our books. This week, children should summarise what they’ve read so far. A good summary would give an overview of what’s happened, focussing on key events and characters. There are many ways in which children could choose to respond to this but here’s a few ideas…
- use an app to create a movie trailer for what’s happened so far
- create a timeline of key events
- turn what’s happened so far into a short comic
- write a song, rap or poem about one of the main characters/events
- create an image about a key event
- draw a portrait of a main character and label their characteristics
However children decide to respond, their efforts will be celebrated as part of our weekly homework review in class. This homework is due by Thursday 07 March 2019.

This week, the whole school has the same creative homework which is due in on Thursday 14 February 2019.
I can show different ways to stay safe.
This week, we have enjoyed a staying safe themed week. We’ve had lots of visitors and covered a range of important safety-related topics. There are many ways, and many different situations, in which we need to keep safe: at home, at school, in our environment and online.
Children should think about the situations where they need to keep safe and who might help them to stay safe. This could be done in any creative way:
- a story
- a poem
- instructions
- a comic strip
- an advert
- an interview
- a game
- scenarios
…or any other creative ideas!
The homework will be reviewed as part of the themed week learning.

This week’s homework is Practise Makes Perfect: I know my lines for our song, ready for class assembly. We ask that the class have rehearsed, and learnt the words to, Abba’s Mamma Mia by Wednesday 13 February 2019. This is the day of the Year 3 class assembly.
The children have been performing this song on Mondays, as part of a series of Music lessons, so they are already relatively familiar with the song. Everyone has been sent home with a copy of the lyrics, however the lyrics can still be found online here. For a video with lyrics to sing along to, and to get some help with the beat and rhythm, please click here.
