The homework this week is creative and is due in Wednesday 15 May.

To complete the five-a-day challenge.

This week, your child has been set a challenge. Are they able to eat five portions of fruit or vegetables for five days? We want your child to keep a log of all the fruit and vegetables they eat on each day from Saturday until Wednesday. Your child should make a note of the fruit and veg they eat, in anyway they want. Here are some ideas:

• a daily diary of all the fruit and veg they’ve managed to consume
• a video diary of each day of the week
• a podcast detailing all the fruit and veg they’ve eaten
• a picture story of all your different portions of fruit and veg
• a chart or table which details what they’ve eaten

We’ll be sharing our successes next Wednesday and talking about how challenging it was to eat so healthily – or if it was just business as usual.

Finally, no cheating! Check the packaging to find out how much of a fruit or veg counts as a whole portion. One grape does not mean you’ve eaten one portion of fruit or veg, and lots of fruity snacks don’t have enough fruit in them to count as a portion.

Good luck!

The homework this week is Creative and is due in on Wednesday 08 May.

I can create a persuasive poster that encourages children to eat healthily.

This week sees the start of our Big Topic, ‘Food, glorious food!’ We’re also learning about writing persuasively in literacy. This is a great opportunity for you to put your persuasive writing skills to the test and use them to persuade children to eat healthily. Here are the R2s (remember to) for writing persuasively:

• emotive language
• connectives (usually adding or reason and result – ask your child, they’ll know what they are!)
• exaggeration
• rhetorical question
• addressing the reader (using words like you)
