This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect.
We would like children to work on their instant recall of number bonds of 10 (year 1s) and number bonds of 10 and 20 (year 2s). A sheet will be stuck in homework books. A great way to build up speed is to use Top Marks Hit the Button.

Practice Makes Perfect
This week our homework will be about our Living and Learning statement which is: Remembering.
We would like you to learn by heart (remember) the following poem. We will be performing it together next week.
Windy day
A wind blew up one morning
And joined us in our play,
Chasing us around the playground
Blowing our ball away.
It whistled at the window
And bustling quickly through
Found our teacher’s pile of papers
And blew, and blew, and blew.
Then everybody scrambled
And we heard our teacher shout:
“Quick! Shut the doors and windows
And keep that wild wind out!”

Don’t forget to check the website for more practice sheets. Record how long it takes you to complete a set. See if you can beat your personal best time.
Practise counting backwards, starting from the last number in the division table, and don’t forget the traditional way to support your child – a couple of mock tests to see how well your child knows their tables!

Year 5 and 6 have different homework this week. Follow the link to find videos to help support addition and multiplication.
Year 5
I can add using column addition
Year 5 have been learning how to add using column addition. Your homework is to practise additions involving numbers up to 6 digits. Choose numbers which involve at least 1 exchange. Eg. 29,435 + 3,553. Choose your own calculations but remember to estimate the answer before conducting your calculation. Can you check your answer by using a different method?
Year 6
I can use the standard method of multiplication.
Year 6 have been learning how to use the standard method for multiplication. Your homework is to practise 4 digit by 2 digit multiplications e.g. 2765 x 67. Would you solve 1000 x 15 in the same way that you would solve 8735 x 43? Choose your own calculations but remember to estimate the answer before conducting your calculation. Can you check your answer by using a different method?

This week’s homework is Creative. You can show this in any way you like – drawing, writing, cutting out picture and sticking in.
I can show how lunchboxes have changed over time.
In our history based Time Travel topic, we’re thinking about how things change over time and how things in your child’s life might be different to that of their parent/carer or grandparents.
Use the lunchbox template provided to show what your child would typically have in a lunchbox and then what you (as a parent or carer – or ask a grandparent) might have had in your own lunchbox.

This week the whole school has the same Talk Time homework which should be completed by Thursday 04 October.
If I could travel in time, who would I take with me and why?
This homework, which links to our current big topic (Time Travel), is a chance for children to think about who is important to them and why. There are many factors which may influence your child’s decision:
- What makes a good travel companion?
- Are there any skills that would help during time travel?
- Who do they enjoy spending time with and why?
- Do they choose someone they know or someone they know of?
Children should discuss this with someone at home and be ready to discuss their viewpoint as part of our weekly homework review next week.

This week, we’ll be getting creative for our homework.
We are about to start our BIG TOPIC of Time Travel based around transport. We would like you to invent your own mode of transport.
Draw or create a model of your idea. You could use a vehicle as a starting idea to add to or come up with something completely new!
We can’t wait to see what you invent!
