This week’s homework is talk time. It’s due in on Wednesday 16 February.
I know about stories set in imaginary worlds.
The children can think about stories in books or in films that feature imaginary worlds (eg. Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland).
What do they have in common? What are the characters like? How do they get to the other world? What is the setting like?
This will help the children when we start our story unit next week!

The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 16 February.
I can find fractions.
Each child will be given a worksheet that they must complete. The problems on the worksheet will be similar to ones that we have done in class. Children must read the questions carefully so that they know what to do.
Good luck!

The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in Wednesday 09 February.
I can have a discussion about animals in the circus using but, so and because.
This week, the children will be talking about whether it is right to have animals in the circus. We will also be using some tricky connectives like but, so and because so they should be practising these in advance.
There are other connectives, too – ‘On the other hand’, ‘However’ etc might be useful, too.
