This week’s homework is practice makes perfect. Complete the sheet and send a picture of it to stjamesy3y4@spherefederation.org

Year 3 – we have been looking at adding and subtracting a 1 digit number to/ from a 3 digit number. Remember, if you know 3+4=7 then you also know that 353+4=357.

Year 4 – we have been adding two 3 digit numbers. Be careful when you’re adding, and the total is more than 10, that you carry over the 10s or 100s to the correct place.

This week’s homework is Creative and is due on Thursday 22 October.

As we are reaching the end of the half term, we wanted to use this opportunity to see how much you’ve learned during our Science unit:

I can share what I’ve learned during ‘Living things and their habitats’.

Here a couple of ideas that might help you to get started:

• a poster with animals in one particular habitat or animals in different habitats
• a collage of photographs that you take in some habitats near you
• tell a story about some animals in their habitat on a comic strip
• search for a template online or create your own
• a series of food chains with arrows to show the transfer of energy

Send your work into your class teacher.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due on Thursday 08 October

This half term, our Christian value is friendship. Sometimes we find ourselves in difficult situations, which leave us in a moral dilemma. Talk to somebody about the examples below.

What you would do in the same situation? Why are these moral dilemmas?

• You see your friend cheating in a maths test.
• Your friends are in a club with you at school. A new child joins the class but they won’t let them join the club.
• Someone is saying unkind things about your friend behind their back.
• Your parents have asked you to come straight home after school. Your friends want you to go to the park with them. They say that you should go to the park.

Talk to somebody and make notes so you are ready to feedback in our homework review on Thursday 08 October.

There’s an old saying that goes, “In order to have good friends, you have to be a good friend.” What does that mean? Do you think it’s true? Why? What are the benefits of having friends who are different from us?

This week’s whole school homework is moral themed and is a Talk Time homework. It is due in next Thursday, 08 October.

What makes someone beautiful?

We have been reading ‘The Ugly Five’ by Julia Donaldson. (This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip).  The animals are called ‘ugly’ in the beginning but then realise that they are actually lovely/beautiful. Talk about what makes an animal or person beautiful. For example:

• Who decides what is beautiful?
• Does it matter what you look like?
• Is what a person does or says more important than what they look like?
• How many different ways can you be beautiful or lovely?

This week, our homework is Talk Time: I can use the 8Rs to help me learn.

In school, we use the 8Rs for learning: ready, responsive, risk-taking, responsibility, resourceful, resilient, reflect and remember.

We’d like the children to discuss what these words mean to them. Below is a list of questions that might help with your discussion.

• How do the 8 Rs help you in school?
• When have you used the 8 Rs outside of school?
• How could you explain the meaning of each word in the 8 Rs?
• Which 8 R do you think you use the most?
• Which 8 R could you use more often?
• How could you use the 8 Rs at home?

Homework should be completed by Thursday 01 October 2020 and will be reviewed / celebrated in class. Please send any completed homework to Mrs Rowley ( stjamesy3y4@spherefederation.org )
