I can change my learning for the better.
It’s that time of the year where children will be starting to think about their next class and teacher. Therefore, it’s a good time to consider how you could improve your learning. This could be by taking more risks in class, by reading more often at home, by listening more carefully during lessons.
We can all do better something better!

I can identify the different types of trees around me.
In this homework you have to become a tree detective. Use the ‘leaf key’ provided and other resources to find the names of the trees that are in your garden and local area. It would be great if you can bring in a leaf from each tree you identify. You could sketch or take photos of the different leaves or trees.

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Thursday 09 March.
I know that houses in other countries may be different to our houses.
Think about your own experiences or ask friends or family who have been to or lived in other countries about the houses that people lived in.
How are they different to the houses we live in? How are they the same?
You could draw and label a picture of the houses, write an estate agent promotion for a house, create a model of the houses with labels.
