The homework this week is Creative and is due in Wednesday 16 March:

I can create something to help me remember how to tell the time.

I am really excited about seeing what you are going to come up with for this week’s homework, Year 2!

You have to create something (ideas below) that will help you remember the time. If you know the time to o’clock, then you could draw a clock with labels for half-past on? See if you can come up with something that is original, but also something that will help your learning.

Here are some ideas:

• A poster which has a clock with all the labelled times on.
• A flow diagram of how to work out the time.
• A brainstorm of all the important vocabulary when telling the time.
• A set of flash cards stuck to your book with quarter past, half past etc.

Please don’t feel you have to stick to these if you have something even more creative!

You could find examples, produce your own instructions by writing them or using diagrams or come up with your own idea!

Comic Relief

Friday 18th March is comic relief. Year Four have the theme of Astronauts and Aliens. It would be great to see some of the children dressed up as something linked to our topic (I don’t want to be the only alien)! Our learning will also link to this theme on the day so it should be enjoyable! 

School Councillors

Thank you to Faizaan and Henry for being fantastic school councillors and good representatives of Year Four.

Well done to Sami and Iona who have now taken over their role – I’m sure they’ll be just as great!
