The homework this week is ‘Creative’ and is due in Wednesday 16 February.

I can show why animals should or should not be in the circus.

Using the vocabulary from last week, the children should find a creative way to present their thoughts on animals in the circus.

You could:

• Make a convincing poster.
• Write a short letter to a ringmaster convincing him.
• Write a comic strip.
• Write a song.

As always with Creative homework, the emphasis is on the original. Feel free to explore unique ways to present your homework.

Your homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 16 February.

I can express my opinion about Captain Robert Scott and his Antarctic expedition.

We have been learning about Robert Scott’s mission to travel to the South Pole. Can you produce a piece of work that tells me your opinion about Scott and his mission.

This piece of work could be:

• Some art work
• A biography
• A timeline
• A cartoon strip about his expedition
• An interview with you answering questions about as though you were Scott

or…

• Your own even more creative idea!

This week’s homework is talk time. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 February.

I know about stories set in imaginary worlds.

The children can think about stories in books or in films that feature imaginary worlds (eg. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland).

What do they have in common? What are the characters like? How do they get to the other world? What is the setting like?

This will help the children when we start our story unit next week!

Usually, we add ‘ed’ to make a verb in its past tense, such as ‘walk’ to ‘walked’.

This week’s spellings are changing words from their present tense to their irregular past tense.

They will be tested on Friday 18 February.
