This week’s homework is creative. It is due on Wednesday 14 January 2011.

I can find different materials around the house.

Remember, all objects are made from a type of material, for example glass, wood, metal, plastic etc.

Holidays approaching…

…so there are no spelling lists, tables or other homework this week.

Enjoy reading, writing (and possibly making?) Christmas cards, reflecting on this term’s topics and other activities.

The homework this week is Talk Time homework and is due in on Wednesday 24 October.

I can talk about toys from other countries.

  • What toys do children have in other countries?
  • Are any of them the same as the ones we have in England?
  • Which of our toys come from outside England? How do you know?
  • How much do toys cost in other countries?

Why not inspect your toy to see if you can find any clues?

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 17 November.

I can practise my letter formation for ‘a’ and ‘e’.

Remember, our Handwriting Guide is easy to follow and a great way to support your child. Children have told us that with better handwriting they feel more confident and proud of their learning!

The homework this week is Creative and due in Wednesday 10 November.

I can sort information.

Use the fruit and vegetable pictures to help you. Think about what we learnt in class this week:

  • collect
  • organise
  • present
  • interpreting information to answer questions.

I look forward to seeing what you have done on Wednesday.

Half-term holiday

Posted on Friday 22 October 2010 by Mr Roundtree

Our policy is not to give homework in the holidays.  However, if you’d like to support your child’s learning at home, have a look at the Homework Tips for Parents (which has ideas for extra practice) and the National Expectations section (which should give you some ideas about what to learn more about).

Don’t forget: all children should be reading on a daily basis: comics, books, websites.  Why not make a trip to the library this holiday?

Older children should also practise times tables (why not re-cap all the tables you’ve practised so far this year?).
