Homework
Homework will be sent home each Friday.
A list of spellings or 'sounds of the week' will be sent home to practice. In KS2 they will have a written test the following Friday. There will also be an optional spelling sheet for KS2.
We will also expect the children to log onto Numbots and/or TT Rockstars to complete some maths fluency practice.
Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice.
This will be sent out on Class Dojo by your class teacher on Fridays.
Remember to name your child’s property
A reminder that lost items are far more likely to return to their owners if they are clearly named! That includes any pens, pencil cases, lunch boxes etc as well as clothes.
Optional Home Learning Tasks to support our learning in terms 3 and 4
1) Create a presentation (PowerPoint, Video, Poster, etc.) on one of the following networks that we will be studying in our computing lessons: LAN, WAN or Ethernet (wired connection).
2) Draw a detailed map of the journey that the Empire Windrush took from the Caribbean to Britain. Be Creative! Possibly try using paints or craft materials to make your map 3D.
3) Create a set of flash cards, or a card game like Top Trumps etc., that show the current population, economy (what a country makes to sell) and any other interesting facts of countries from around the world.
4) FANCY FRENCH - create your very own FRENCH comic book strip or story. See if you can write and illustrate a piece of literature that brings elements of what we have learnt in French not just this year, but in our time at Offham.
5) Geography and Maths Mashup. Economics and pricing. Plan for and grow something. For example, watercress is an exciting and easy thing to grow at home. Work out how much it costs to grow 100g, 200g and 500g of your product. Then find out how much your chosen item to grow is worth in the supermarket. How much could you sell your item for per 100g and how much profit would that leave you each time? CHALLENGE: How much of your product would you have to sell to earn £20,000, £50,000, £75,000 and £100,000 in profits?
Feel free to share any attempts at these tasks with myself - the more creative the better.
Many thanks,
Mr Goodfellow
