This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 25 April 2012.
I know the five times table.
We love to write!
Reception children can’t stop writing! Keep encouraging your child at home to write letters, lists, notes and birthday cards. Fold a piece of paper to make little books for story writing. Let them see you write, too!
Welcome!

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 25 April 2012.
I know about push and pull forces.
We’ve started a new mini-topic for science; we thought it would be good to see what children know about forces.
Children should show creatively something they know about the topic. Some ideas:
- a poem
- a poster
- some facts
- an observational drawing
- research using ICT
- own idea

Homework 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 25 April.
