This week, the whole school has the same Talk Time homework based on our Living and Learning statement: I know honesty is important  

This homework is particularly appropriate as honesty is the Christian value which we will be focusing on this half term.

For their homework this week, children should discuss the concept of honesty with their families, brothers and sisters or any other people who may wish to discuss ideas with them.

Children could respond to this homework in a range of ways:

• Why is it important to be honest?
• Discuss a time when you had to be honest.
• Is it ever ok to be dishonest?
• Is being honest always easy?

The discussion you have need not be recorded in homework books but you may want to make a few notes to help with our whole class discussion about the topic on  Thursday 13 June 2019.

This week, the whole school has the same Creative homework: I can show what I know about a particular job.  

This homework is in preparation for our themed week which is next week. Throughout the week, we’ll focus on money. One aspect of this is how money is earned. Obviously, our children are a little young to be earning money but it is really important that they have aspirations.

For their homework this week, children should decide on a job (maybe one they want to do or one that a family member has) and find out some useful information about the profession: what a ‘normal’ day looks like, how much you can earn, what qualifications/experience you need, etc.

Children could respond to this creative homework in a range of ways:

• Create a poster
• Make a ‘project board’
• Re-create a ‘day in the life of…’ and document this in pictures
• Make a presentation
• Compare a few different jobs
• Devise a short play to show their peers what the job involves
• Research the salary and decide how they might spend their money
• Write a job application

Of course, there are many other ways in which children could respond. Children should be ready to celebrate their learning as part of their homework review by Thursday 23 May 2019.

Our homework this week is Creative

As part of our ‘disasters’ mini topic, we have been studying volcanoes: How they form, what happens when they erupt etc.

Your task is to use your knowledge about them and any extra research you carry out to create a piece of work on volcanoes. You could create a poster, a poem, a game or anything else that you can think of.

We will be looking for creative ideas and originality.

This week’s homework is talk-time:

Is mental health more important than physical health?

This homework, which links to our living and learning theme, is an opportunity to discuss the issues around mental health. If we can’t see our mental health, does that mean it is less important?

Can you justify your reasons and decisions?

Do people agree or disagree with you? Why?

Year 6: grammar and maths revision booklets to complete by Tuesday 07 May.
