This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Thursday 13 September.
I can show what I know about a country.
We’re starting our term with a mini-topic of “Where in the World?”. We’ve begun by looking at the UK and the four countries that make it up. This week’s homework is to show what they know about a country – this can be any country – even England if they want.
Your child could:
- produce a spider diagram of information
- draw pictures with labels
- write a fact file
- create a promotional leaflet for a tourism brochure
- design a homepage for a website about the country
…or think of another creative way of presenting their information.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 05 July.
I can write a set of instructions.
This week is sports week and we are looking at all of the ways we can be healthy. One of those ways is moving. Children are recommended to do 60 minutes of exercise a day – 30 minutes in school and 30 minutes at home.
Your homework is to write a set of instructions for a sport/game of your choice. You can choose any sport or game as long as it’s active. Such as, football, cricket, netball, tig, stuck in the mud or sharks and fishes.
Don’t forget, instructions need a title, a ‘what you need’ section and a ‘what to do’ section.

This week we have been looking at the Ancient Egyptian gods. We only looked at the main ones, as there are over 2000. Your task is to create your own Egyptian god or goddess using some of the features that you have seen in class this week.
Make sure you include labels and details about your creation. We will be displaying some of these around the classroom.
A link to a helpful website can be found here.

Have a look at Class Clock and play some of the games to practice telling times.

Focus: Practice makes perfect
Over the last few weeks, we have been studying the written methods of multiplication: how to lay them out, which order to solve them in and what not to forget. We have also been studying money. As such, this week’s homework combines the two.
A sheet of questions is stuck in the homework book to be completed for next week. More information on how to set out the written method is available here.
