This week’s homework is Talk Time and will be discussed on Thursday 21 October.
You’re completing an independent project at the moment. Discuss what you’re doing at home and think about how it’s going, whether you’re enjoying it and how you could work more effectively.
We’ll then use this discussion to reflect on our independent learning in class.

This week’s homework is Creative.
I can show what I’ve learnt about our topic.
We are thoroughly enjoying our class topic ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and it’s time to get creative.We discussed ideas in class related to what we have learnt about this topic so far. Ideas included:
- a character description
- a model
- a newspaper report
- a quiz
- design a poster
The children had lots of good ideas and I’m really looking forward to seeing their creativity.

The homework this week is talk time and is due in on Thursday 13 October.
What is the value of art?
Art is valuable in lots of different ways. It can cheer us up if we’re feeling sad. It can entertain us or help us to see things in different ways.
Yet, art also has a monetary value. Some art is worth millions of pounds. Is this right? Is it easy to see which art is more valuable?
What art is valuable to you and to your family? Why is it valuable?

This week’s second homework is Creative and is due on Tuesday 11 October 2016.
To be able to present information about WW2.
Although this week’s homework is Creative, we’re doing it slightly differently. Last year, Year 5 and 6 completed an independent research project. Year 5 would like to have a go at something similar so next week will be a week of independent project work linked to our topic.
Next week, you’ll be creating something independently about one aspect of living on the home front: evacuation, the blitz, air raids, women at war, rationing or anything else that piques your interest. Year 5 always create amazing Creative homework so what you actually choose to create is up to you. Here are a few ideas from me:
- A magazine for a child living during the war
- A project board (like we produced last year)
- An information leaflet.
- A game we can play
So, decide what you want to create and what it will be about. (You’ll have three hours throughout the week to complete it – think about that when making your choice.) Your actual homework will be to gather the information you need in order to complete the work in class. Do not create your independent project!
So that we can complete this project work during class time, this homework will be due on Tuesday 11 October.
