The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 13 July.

I can learn and recite a poem.

The children have to choose one of the poems in this booklet to learn. They should write it neatly into their homework book and then practise reading it until they can recite it without looking at it.

As you know, we have had to close school on Friday 01 July – Shadwell Lane had its water turned off.  For that reason, and because two classes are out of school today, there hasn’t been chance to set homework or spellings for this week.

Even though there is no set homework or spellings, please remember there are lots of things that the children can be doing to reflect on their learning from this week.

Again, I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by the school closure.

The homework this week is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 29 June.

I can cope with an unexpected change.

The SEAL theme this half-term is Changes and as part of this we’re learning about unexpected changes.

Talk to your children about how changes can be both positive and negative but also that a change which appears negative could be positive – or at least have some positives. Children will need to be ready to deal with sudden or unexpected changes so also talk about strategies they can use to help cope with a change.

The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 22 June.

I can create a chart to present data. 

You’ve been given some information in a tally chart – though you can use your own data if you’d prefer.

Your job is to create a bar chart (or another type of chart) using this data. Remember all that we’ve learnt this week!

Once you’ve created the chart, write some questions about the data for other people to answer.

Why does money matter?

Summer Half Term

Posted on Friday 27 May 2016 by Mrs Weekes

In line with our Homework Policy, there are no homework tasks or spellings to learn next week because it’s the Summer half-term holiday. Of course, there are plenty of ways to help your child continue learning: get reading, go places, talk lots!

Have a happy and healthy holiday.

This week’s whole school homework is creative and is due Wednesday 25 May:

I understand rights and responsibilities.

This half term, our SEAL theme has been Rights and Responsibilities.  We’ve been learning that if we have rights, we also have responsibilities. Children have been considering the following rights and responsibilities.

  • I have the right to learn and I have the responsibility for my own learning.
  • I have the right to play and I have the responsibility to play fairly.
  • I have the right to express an opinion and I have the responsibility to respect the opinions of others.
  • I have the right to be safe and I have the responsibility to make safe choices.
  • I have the right to be healthy and I have the responsibility to make healthy choices.

Your child is required to show their understanding of rights and responsibilities in a creative way. Ideas could include:

  • a story
  • a poem
  • a song
  • a poster
  • a letter
  • a comic strip
  • a script

The homework this week is talk time and is due in on Wednesday 18 May.

I can find out about toys from the past. 

Talk to your children about the toys and games you played when you were a child. If possible, they could talk to grandparents as well. How have toys changed? Are there any toys, or variations, that children still use today?

This week, the homework is creative and is due in on Wednesday 11 May.

I can design a toy of the future. 

We’re starting a new topic about toys next week and this homework aims to get children thinking about what their dream toy would be or what toy children may be playing with in the future.

I grew up dreaming about hoverboards (I was never very good on a skateboard) and am still disappointed no one has managed to create one.

Ask your child what their dream toys would be and get them to sketch it. They should include labels and annotations about what material the toy will be made from or what a part’s function is. Your child could even build a prototype to give us an idea of what your toy would look like!
