Our whole-school homework this week is:
Living and Learning: there are nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. These characteristics are all protected in law. The acronym DR GRAMPSS or DR S GRAMPS might help to remember them, but you might prefer to just talk about a few of these depending on the age of your child. More important than simply remembering all of them is to encourage your child to be aware of fairness and equality.
Reading: please make sure your child is reading on a daily basis.
Number Fact Fluency: Use Numbots or Times Table Rock Stars in regular short bursts.
Talk Time
This week’s Talk Time has us thinking about the question What makes a good leader? As it’s nearly time to choose our new Junior Leadership Team (JLT)!
A leader is someone who helps others, makes fair choices and listens to everyone. Think about the kind of person you would like to choose as a Junior Leader. Should they be kind? Helpful? A good listener? Brave? Fair? Why do you think those things are important?
Let’s talk about what kind of people make good leaders and how we can all use our voices in a kind and fair way.
Note: Previously, we’ve used this homework as an opportunity for pupils to prepare their speeches for the JLT elections. However, this year, pupils will prepare speeches within a lesson at school.
