There is no homework this week due to SATs.

Homework again this week is some practice makes perfect and it’s for maths.
Children have been given four mental maths tests to complete. I suggest they don’t leave all four until Tuesday night! Instead, I would recommend they do them on different nights throughout the week.
The tests will help the children with their mental maths speed and skills.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 09 May.
It’s vital that homework is handed in on time as the lesson on Wednesday is based on the homework.

It’s the Easter holidays and, in line with our Homework Policy, teachers do not set spellings or homework tasks. Instead, enjoy the sunny weather by getting active: a trip to the park, a game of football, a cycle ride or a long walk!
During the holidays, two of our teachers will visit Italy, one will be in Russia and one will be in…Barry Island!

This piece of work could be:

- A cartoon strip of the story so far.
- An interview with you answering questions about as though you were one of the characters.
- A prediction of the exciting events still to come.
- Your own even more creative idea.

Your homework this week is talk time:
Should school uniform be banned?
In class we’ve learnt how to write balanced arguments. Discuss with your parents, or adults at home, your opinions about school uniform. Think of and discuss points that you agree with and points that you disagree with. Also think about a conclusion and the connectives that you would use in your discussion.
Make notes in your homework book to show the things you discussed and what you concluded.
Homework is due in on Wednesday 14 March.

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 29 February 2012.
Next week, on Thursday 01 March, it’s World Book Day. To celebrate, all the classes are having a themed day on the subject of reading. There will be lots of activities, including an invitation for your child to dress up as a favourite book character. Linked to this, we’d like all children in school to consider their favourite story and explain why…
I can say why I like a book.
You could create a comic strip, write a book review, draw a story map, write a letter to the author… Anything you like that celebrates reading!
As always, the creative homework should be on one side of the A4 Homework Books, although creative ways to extend this are allowed!
It’s the holidays…
…so there are no spellings or homework activities.
Instead, enjoy a winter walk, the marvellous Muppets movie, some cool culture at a gallery or museum… Enjoy the half-term break.
