Your homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 23 November.
I can show what I learnt at the Eureka Museum.
Produce a piece of work showing what you learnt on your trip to the museum.
This piece of work could be:
- A few sentences
- A picture
- Annotated drawings
- A list of facts
- A poster
- Another idea, even more creative!
Remember, homework should stick to one page of the Homework Book, but the page can be extended with flaps, pull out sections or some other creative way.

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 23 November. This week has been national anti-bullying week and the class assembly also had an anti-bullying theme; consequently, the homework is about bullying, too:
I can give advice to a victim of bullying.
It is totally up to you how you give this advice. Some ideas are:
- a poster giving tips and advice
- a playscript between a victim of bullying and a person giving advice
- a storyboard or comic strip
- a picture story
- a poem

Our class assembly…
…is today at 2.40pm – friends and family of pupils in Y3 are welcome to attend.
Eureka!!
As you know, Year 1 and Year 2 went to Eureka museum in Halifax on Tuesday 15 November. The main focus of our day was in the learning area known as “Me and My Body.” Our learning included the way our mouths work, how fast we breathe and how our skeletons move.
What a tiring day…
…just time for a snooze on the way home.
