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.

This week’s homework is creative and is due on Thursday 22 September.
I can show what I know about the world we live in.
This serves as a reflection on our recent mini-topic, ‘Where in the world?‘ In class, we discussed several ways in which children could respond. They could:
- go for a walk using a map and make a short video-diary about how they used their map skills
- identify physical and human geographical features in the local area
- discuss Britain’s role in the world (we are small but influential… is that a good thing?)
- create a song to help people remember key facts like continents, oceans, countries, counties and capitals.
- make a weather report to show their knowledge of climates around the world
Plus many more. Last week, our homework was fantastic! Keep it up, Year 5!

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Thursday 22 September.
Where in the world?
We’ve been learning about the world in our topic lessons for the past two weeks. We’ve used atlases, maps and globes to locate and name the different countries in the United Kingdom and the different continents and oceans of the world.
In this homework, you can reflect on this learning and create something which shows it off. Alternatively, you could teach the rest of the class about a place in the world which is special to you. It could be a place really far away or really close.
