The homework this week is Talk Time and will be discussed on Thursday 06 October.
I understand how someone else feels.
For this homework, children should discuss this statement with others at home.
They should consider:
- What are the different emotions someone might feel? How many can you name? When/why might someone feel that way?
- How would you know how someone else is feeling? What does their face look like? What does their body look like?
- What could you do if you see someone showing certain emotions? For example, loneliness, anger, confusion or worry.
In our SEAL lesson this week, we considered how someone else might feel through the book, Beegu.
Children should be prepared to share their ideas.

For Mathletics homework, each child has been assigned two tasks from MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE WRITTEN.
- Everyone has been assigned ‘Short Division’.
- Some children have been assigned ‘Long Multiplication’.
- Some children have been assigned ‘Multiply 2-Digit Number regroup’.
This work will allow the children to practise skills we’ve been revising this week on multiplication and get a head start on division which we’ll be moving on to next week.
These task should be completed by Thursday 06 October. As always, let me know if there are any difficulties before Thursday and I’ll do what I can to help.

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due on Thursday 06 October.
Write 10 sentences about your trip to Eden Camp using a range of openers – think about what else you could show off, too.
There’ll be pictures of our trip up on Y6 Class News to remind you of what we did and what you saw. Write ten sentences, making sure you’re using a range of openers – which is your writing target.
Although I want you to focus on openers, think about whether you can show off or practise any other skills too:
- middlers and enders
- punctuation (; : – )
- expanded noun phrases
- adverbial phrases

This week’s homework is creative and is due Thursday 29 September:
I can design a chocolate bar wrapper.
As we begin our Big Topic based on a class novel (in our case, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), this chocolate-themed homework seems appropriate! There’s only one rule: don’t use more than one page of A4.
