This week, our homework is Practice Makes Perfect: I know the key vocabulary from our history topic.
This half-term, we’ve been historians in our topic lessons and have already learnt lots of Ancient Greece. Part of our topic is learning some key vocabulary. These words help us to learn the knowledge we need and help us to articulate this knowledge better.
For your homework this week, we’d like you to be really confident with what all of these words mean. There’s a few ways you could do this and we’d like you to tackle this homework using a strategy that works for you. If you’re unsure, here’s a few ideas…
- Practise using them in sentences
- Create your own definition for each word
- Create an action or rhyme for each word to help you remember them
- Play ‘classic’ games like taboo, Pictionary or charades using these words
- Ask an adult to test you on your way to school or whilst you’re eating
- Try and use these words in as many sentences as you can over the course of a night, weekend or whole week – you could even turn it into a competition for who can score the most points.
