This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Thursday 18 January.
I can find different materials around the house.
Remember, all objects are made of a type of material (wood, glass, pottery, metal). You can show the materials you have found in whichever way you wish: writing a list with pictures, taking photographs and labelling them, drawing a poster or writing a description of what you have found.
For more information and games on materials, have a look at BBC Bitesize.

It’s Christmas!
We hope you all enjoy a well-deserved break and come back to school ready and fresh to learn on 02 January.
As it’s the holidays, there’s no homework this week but there’s a few things we think you should try and do over the festive break:
- spend time with family
- spend time with friends
- play outside
- throw a snowball
- build a snowman
- read a book, or two (or three)
- do something nice for your parents or carers
- spend some time relaxing and being mindful – remember our workshop?
- investigate something you observe
- be polite to everyone you meet
- eat a few treats (and plenty of veggies!)
- and, last but not least, have a generally awesome two weeks

The homework this week is creative and is due on Thursday 14 December.
I can show what I know about a festival.
Around this time, many children in school will celebrate or will have celebrated a religious festival of some sort. This might be the Christian festival of Christmas (of course, celebrated by many non-Christians in the UK, too). It might also be the Sikh and Hindu festival Diwali, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, and the Chinese New Year festival which is early in the new year.
There are lots of other festivals and celebrations which you and your child together might want to reflect on. You can research more festivals.
We invite children to respond to the sentence above – they might include a recount (like a diary entry), pictures, an interview (perhaps in a script). Your child might also choose to research a completely unknown festival, or they might even think about creating a brand new festival, one that everyone will celebrate.

This week’s homework for Year 1,2 is a practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 07 December.
We have spent the last two weeks looking at shape.
For Year 1, naming common 2D and 3D shapes. For example, triangle, square, octagon, cube, sphere and pyramid.
For year 2, naming and describing 2D and 3D shapes. For example, knowing that a square has 4 sides and 4 corners, a cube has 6 faces (all of which are square), 8 vertices and 12 edges and a pyramid has 5 faces (4 triangle, 1 square), 5 vertices and 8 edges.

For all children in Year 1 – Year 6, the homework this week is talk time and is due in on Thursday 23 November
Which charity should our school support?
Throughout the year, our school will be holding different fundraising events and it’s important that the children have a say in which charity we support. Have a chat with your child and talk about which sorts of charities they would like to support. Write the suggestions and we’ll vote for our chosen charity during our homework review.
You may want to focus on children’s charities. Or, you may have family or friends who work for or have been supported by a charity.
