The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in Wednesday 09 February.

I can have a discussion about animals in the circus using but, so and because.

This week, the children will be talking about whether it is right to have animals in the circus. We will also be using some tricky connectives like but, so and because so they should be practising these in advance.

There are other connectives, too – ‘On the other hand’, ‘However’ etc might be useful, too.

I can invent and make a page of a study book to show people how to write a great set of instructions.

OR

I can invent a page of an important bits book to show people how to interpret pie charts.

• How you are going to make it creative and interesting to read.
• What information will you include to help your reader learn about instructions or pie charts?
• What tips will you give to your reader?
• If you’re producing information about instructions, don’t forget to mention key features: imperative verbs, connectives that help to give order, numbers, and handy hints.
• If you’re producing information about pie chats don’t forget to mention the learning steps children need to take: look at the number of sections, how many people in total, and fractions for each section.

Have fun!
