We’re starting our British history topic – Time Travel –  next week. Our theme for the topic is houses and homes. For this homework, we’d like you to show us what a home is. What is important about a home? What do homes look like? What did homes look like in the past?

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due in on Thursday 27 September:

I can discuss what I learnt about transport from our class trip.

Children need to look on the class news page to be reminded of some of the exciting things we saw at The Streetlife Museum and the Hull and East Riding Museum. Then, they should discuss their learning at home, making notes in their homework book. If they also feel inspired to find out more about one of the aspects we saw, that’s great!

This week’s homework is Talk Time and will be discussed on Thursday 27 September 2018.

What future inventions could improve the world of today?

Around the dinner table, on your journey to school, when out for a walk, talk to your mum, uncle, grandparent, sibling, family friend about what we could invent today to make our world a better place or to make life easier for a group of people. It might help to think about problems first: problems in the world or problems certain groups experience.

Don’t forget: write a few brief notes in your homework book to help with your discussion in class.

This week the whole school has the same Practice Makes Perfect homework which should be completed by Thursday 20 September.

I know some Where in the World facts.                                                                       

This homework, which links to our current mini-topic (Where in the World), is a chance for children to show off their geographical knowledge. Children should learn and remember (one of our 8Rs for learning) some facts about the world that they find interesting. There are many things children could learn about:

  • the seven continents
  • capital cities
  • names of the oceans
  • the countries of the UK, Europe or the world
  • the population of some countries
  • interesting facts about a place they find interesting or have been
  • how to say a common word or phrase in several languages (for example, hello!)
  • and, of course, there are many more facts children could find out and learn

This homework should be evidenced in homework books with children ready (another of our 8Rs for learning) to show off their new-found geographical knowledge as part of our weekly homework review next week.

This week’s homework is Talk Time:

I can discuss different ways of working out a calculation.

Children have been given a Year 5: Random Tables test. The point, however, isn’t to complete the test (but you can if you’d like). Children should discuss different ways to solve a calculation – the more the better! For example:

9 x 4 could be thought of as:

  • 9 doubled and doubled again
  • 10 lots of 4 with one group of 4 taken away
  • 9 + 9 + 9 + 9
  • 9 lots of 4

We’ll discuss our findings in class on Thursday 13 September.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due in on Thursday 13 September:

I know my address.

Our current geography-themed mini topic is Where in the World and we’d like the children to know what their address is to build up their knowledge of where they live in the world.

In our homework review on Thursday, we’ll discuss when we might need to use our address but also, from a safety point of view, when we shouldn’t give out this personal information.
