This week, our homework is Practice Makes Perfect: I can start sentences in different ways.
In our recent writing lessons, we’ve been focussing on starting our sentences in different ways. We found some examples in different texts, practised starting sentences in different ways and then applied our learning when writing a setting description based on our class novel: The Nowhere Emporium. For their homework, we would like children to continue their learning by practising writing some sentences that start in different ways. This image shows the learning prompt we’ve been using in school and should help when completing the task.
For a challenge, create a short piece of descriptive writing where the sentence starters are varied. This homework will be reviewed as part of our weekly homework review in class and should be completed by Thursday 26 September.
Please remember, this homework should take no longer than 30 minutes.
Times Tables
This week, we will focus on the 4x tables. See the example in your homework book as an example of the kinds of questions asked during our times table test. Children will be tested on Friday 27 September 2019.
