The homework this week is creative and should be returned Thursday 08 March.
I can create a Top Trump fact file for an animal.
This can be :
- An imaginary creature
- Your favourite animal
- An endangered animal
Use the template provided to create your own Top Trump animal. Use the headings: size, weight, speed, deadliness and weapons and rate the animal out of 100 for each of these. Use the space to write a fact about your animal. If you’d like to produce more information about your chosen animal, then use a page in your homework book.
We’re looking forward to playing Top Trumps next week!

This week’s homework is Creative.
I can find, show and tell number stories.
You could find number stories around your house or outside. Draw a picture or take a photograph of the number story, writing the related number sentences to accompany it. There are some examples below.
I have 2 cats. Each cat has 4 legs.
- 4 + 4 = 8.
- Double 4 is eight.
- Half of 8 is 4.
- 2 x 4 = 8
My fence has 13 slats in each panel. There are 4 panels.
- 13 + 13 + 13 + 13 = 52
- 13 x 4 = 52
I made 12 cupcakes. I ate 3 of them.
- 12 – 3 = 9
- 9 = 12 – 3
- 3 + 9 = 12

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect.
All classes are working hard on their recall of key maths facts. A copy can be found on the Learn More/Help My Child/Addition Facts guide section of the website. We’ve been trying to complete as many as we can against the clock. See how many you can do in two minutes. Check how many you got right then continue to work through the others, if you have any left.
