Are animals happy in zoos?
This is a moral question which I’d like you to discuss at home with your child. During the discussion with your child, it’s important to appreciate that there may be two opposing views and that although it’s okay to disagree we should respect the opposing view.

Should zoos be banned?
Have a discussion about whether or not animals should be kept in zoos or whether or not we should close them down. Whichever side of the debate you fall on, come up with arguments for both sides and be ready to discuss them in class.

Animal experimentation – vivisection – is it right?
Have a chat in the car, over dinner or while walking to the shops about animal experimentation and whether is it ok or not. Try researching scenarios which might suggest that it’s a good thing to happen or examples of it being a bad thing to happen and make some notes in your homework book.
We’ll discuss the statement together in class, most likely sparking up a debate, something we love!

This week’s homework is Creative and is due on Thursday 06 February.
How does the human body work?
Our topic learning next week will be all about the human body so we’re challenging the children either to tell us something they know already or find out something new to teach us.
This homework will be used to create a class information book which we’ll keep in our reading area. Because of this, it must be completed on the page of the homework book (not on extra sheets or on the computer). This could be an information text, a diagram, a story which tells the journey of food through the body, a lift the flap information page, a leaflet – anything really!
There are all sorts of things you could inform us about:
- different organs (Did you know… your skin is an organ?)
- the digestive system
- the circulatory system
- our teeth
- how the brain works
- the skeletal system
- the nervous system
- how we change as we grow older

This week, our homework is Talk Time: I can make safe choices.
Please discuss scenarios and situations when making a safe choice is vitally important. You may also want to discuss safety in general – making sure you discuss internet safety would be perfect!
