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!

The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 16 February.
I can find fractions.
Each child will be given a worksheet that they must complete. The problems on the worksheet will be similar to ones that we have done in class. Children must read the questions carefully so that they know what to do.
Good luck!
