Homework 15.11.18

Due in on Tuesday 20^th November

Year 3

English

As part of our work on non-chronological reports, we would like you to research an animal from the Stone Age. Please choose from either a Woolly Mammoth, Sabre-Tooth Tiger, Woolly Rhinoceros or Giant Beaver. Collect as many notes as you can for our lessons. Remember not to copy information straight from the Internet; make notes on what you find out. You will need to know about:

• the animals habitat (where it likes to live)
• diet (what it eats)
• its appearance (what it looks like).

If you want to find out any extra information, for example its life span or behaviour, then you are welcome to bring in this information too. Record your notes on paper and bring it to school. We expect you present your research neatly and use rulers for underlining your main heading, sub-headings or for any labelling.

Reading

Remember we also expect you to record at least 4 pieces of reading in your Home School Book. We will collect home school books in every Monday.

Times Tables

Make sure you are also learning your times tables every day. We do Cracking Times Tables every Monday.

If you ever have any trouble completing your homework please come and speak to us.

Year 5

Next week we are going to start work in English on persuasive writing. The first issue we are going to look at is homework! We are going to sort the advantages and disadvantages of having homework and look at different people’s opinions about homework.

So this week you are going to ask your family members what they think of homework – ask your parents and your siblings. You need to write down in your blue English homework book who you have asked, the questions you asked them and what their replies and opinions were. You will need to have this homework ready for Tuesday’s English lesson because we will use it as part of our work.

Reading – at least four reading entries a week please in your Home School Book and a variety of books should have been read this term

Auditions – you have an extract form the Christmas play. Practice delivering some lines ready for auditions next week.

Xmas Fayre Programme Cover Competition (optional)

The local Co-op are judging the school’s competition to design a cover for the Christmas Fayre. Prizes will be awarded for the best in each year group and the overall winner.

You have two choices which you can collect from the Cop-op:

Or draw an A4 picture on the theme of “What Christmas Means To Me”

Your entries should be handed in to the Co-op.
