This week’s homework is creative and is due Thursday 29 September:
I can design a chocolate bar wrapper.
As we begin our Big Topic based on a class novel (in our case, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), this chocolate-themed homework seems appropriate! There’s only one rule: don’t use more than one page of A4.

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Thursday 29 September.
I love reading!
For this homework children should show off their love of reading. This could be stories, comics, fact books, poems.
Here are a few ideas for what the children could do:
- write a review of their favourite book
- create a poster celebrating their favourite book or author
- write a letter to a character in or the author of their favourite book
- interview a character or an author
- re-write a favourite part of a book
- write an alternative ending or new chapter for a favourite book

Creative homework
Last week’s homework was to show what we know about the world. As always, Y6 produced some amazing work. Here are just a couple of pieces that caught our eyes:
Every time we do Creative homework, we put it out on the tables and have a look at what everyone has produced. We really like taking a sneaky peak at each other’s ideas. Here we are looking at, and interacting with, what we did.
Once we’ve enjoyed the homework review, we choose someone’s to look at more closely and write a comment in their book. If we’re lucky, Miss Rushbrooke might give us a golden ticket too!
Written by all of Y6 and Miss Rushbrooke.

Our spelling list leads on from the spelling activity last week. All of the spellings have -ible or -able endings. For Friday’s test, I’ll test some of these words but will also test words from their word families or even words that have the same spelling pattern but weren’t on the spelling list.
All children should be practising their spellings in their homework book using the techniques we’ve discussed in class.
- tolerable
- edible
- admirable
- horrible
- sensible
- breakable
- applicable
- incredible
- considerable
- terrible

This week’s homework is Talk Time and will be discussed on Thursday 29 September.
I try and understand other people’s feelings.
This is our SEAL statement for next week. Children should discuss the statement at home and write some notes to help with our discussion in class.
The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas
Our Class Novel topic has begun and we’re well on the way with ours: The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. As this novel is set during World War Two, lots of our learning will be centred around this – something the children said they’d like to learn about last year.
Although the children knew that their class novel would be linked to WWII, they didn’t know which novel I’d chosen. So, on Monday, they entered the school of code breaking and had to break the code to find out what the novel was.
Help at home by asking about the class novel:
- What’s happening in the story at the moment?
- Are you enjoying it?
- What have you learnt about the war while reading it?
- What are the characters like?
