This week’s homework is Talk Time and due on Thursday 26 September.

This week, our Living and Learning statement is ‘I can take safe risks’. At school, we have been discussing when and where we take risks. For homework, we would like you to discuss risks, safe and unsafe, and where we might take them outside of school. This might be online, at home, at clubs, or in the community.

This week, the whole school has the same Creative homework: I can illustrate happy and healthy choices.

This homework links to our weekly living and learning statement and is something we talk about a lot in our school. Can you encourage your child to make a new healthy choice every day this week? Or think about one new healthy change your child can make? Try to help them make sure the choice is a realistic, achievable one, such as avoiding being on an electronic device after a certain time to help sleep, or adding one extra daily portion of vegetables to their diet each day.

As this is a Creative homework, children could respond in a variety of ways:

  • Create a blog, video blog or diary to show the changes we’ve made.
  • Create a poster convincing others to make a happy and healthy change.
  • Make a cartoon strip in which a character makes a happy and healthy change.
  • Write a song, poem or rap that will encourage others to make changes.
  • Reflect on change they’ve made and how it made them feel.

There are of course lots of other ways to respond, too.

Children should be ready share, and celebrate, their homework in their class by Thursday 11 July 2019.

This week’s homework is Creative and due on Thursday 4th July 2019.

‘Explain what you have learned about refugees’

We have read a fantastic narrative poem The Day War Came, by Nicola Davies; had a workshop with Nola from My Bright Kite; and explored our own understanding through welcome posters in Art.

Now it’s the children’s turn to show what they know.

They can think about:

  • Why do people leave their countries?
  • What problems will they face?
  • How will they feel coming to a new place?
  • How do refugees cope with these challenges?
  • Where do refugees come from?
  • How can we welcome refugees?
  • Find out about famous refugees.

Your child can show their learning and understanding in a variety of ways:

an acrostic poem, a poster, a drawing, a collage, a story, or any other creative way you wish!

This week, the whole school has the same Creative homework: I can illustrate a moral choice.  

A moral choice is committing to act for what you believe is right and good. As responsible citizens, we have a duty to ensure that we, and others, act on what we think is correct. This homework, which links to our on-going living and learning work, will help children to further understand this.

As this is a creative homework we look forward to receiving a range of responses. Children should think about something they feel passionate about and illustrate this however they see fit.

They could…

  • create a piece of art that shows the choice
  • write a news report about someone making a moral choice
  • find a key person from history and explain how, and why, they made a moral choice
  • create a short piece of drama to show the choice being made.

This homework should be completed by Thursday 13 June 2019.

This week, the whole school has the same Creative homework: I can show what I know about a particular job.  

This homework is in preparation for our themed week which is next week. Throughout the week, we’ll focus on money. One aspect of this is how money is earned. Obviously, our children are a little young to be earning money but it is really important that they have aspirations.

For their homework this week, children should decide on a job (maybe one they want to do or one that a family member has) and find out some useful information about the profession: what a ‘normal’ day looks like, how much you can earn, what qualifications/experience you need, etc.

Children could respond to this creative homework in a range of ways:

  • Create a poster
  • Make a ‘project board’
  • Re-create a ‘day in the life of…’ and document this in pictures
  • Make a presentation
  • Compare a few different jobs
  • Devise a short play to show their peers what the job involves
  • Research the salary and decide how they might spend their money
  • Write a job application

Of course, there are many other ways in which children could respond. Children should be ready to celebrate their learning as part of their homework review by Thursday 23 May 2019.
