It’s the Spring half-term holiday next week…
It’s half-term holidays next week, so there are no specific homework tasks, times tables or spellings next week.
Of course, regular practice and learning can still happen: reading each day, swimming, tables practice, trips to the library, walks around Roundhay Park… A personal recommendation from me: take a visit to Leeds Art Gallery -the Liberty and Anarchy exhibition is great!
All will help your child have a happy and healthy holiday!

Our homework this week is Talk Time.
I can tell a story.
Children have been asked to plan a story (using the structure below) and then tell it to people at home. They will be asked to re-tell the story at school on Wednesday, when the homework is due in. This homework is designed to help children’s story writing, which is what we’re focusing on at the moment in class.
Suggested story structure that children are familiar with:
- Beginning or Opening (sets the scene, tells a reader where and when the story is happening and often introduces the main characters)
- Middle (how the story progresses)
- End or Resolution (how the problem is solved)
In Year 1 we call this structure the Story Mountain.

The homework this week is to practise and prepare for our class assembly:
- the words to the songs (the children know the words already, so it’s a case of working on loud, clear singing)
- individual parts (practise projecting your voice!)
The performance will be on Thursday 07 February at 2.40pm
See you there!
25 January 2013
The homework this week is creative and is due in Wednesday 30 January.
I can show what I already know about treasure.
As you all know, our new Big Topic is Hidden Treasure. We’d like you to show us what you already know about the topic. As always, you can be as creative as you like, but if you’re struggling why not…
- draw and label a picture
- use a computer to find information
- create a comic strip
- make a collage
We look forward to seeing your ideas.

The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 23 January 2013.
You will be practising using adjectives. An adjective is a describing word – it describes nouns. It gives more information to your sentences, making them more interesting to read. You will find the activities in your homework book.
If you have any questions, please come and see me or Mrs Weekes.

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 January 2013.
I can find different materials around the house.
You could produce:
- art work
- cut out pictures from a magazine
- construct something
- a poster
- write a sentence or two
- a Venn diagram
- your own creative idea
Remember: all objects are made from a type of material (glass, wood, metal, pottery etc).
It’s Christmas…
…so enjoy the break.
We don’t give homework or spellings and tables to learn during holidays. Instead, we hope you all enjoy the break and spend some fabulously festive family time, whether it’s playing board games, enjoying a book or two or simply relaxing in front of the telly for a treat.
