14^th March Homework

For homework this week we will have our spelling words for our test on Friday as usual. As well as this, I am setting everyone a challenge. The homework will not be due in until 30th March.

We have been focusing on report writing throughout the year so far in our big writing lessons. I am looking for everyone to write a report on a topic of your choice – something you would like to teach me about, it could be an animal, a sport, a country etc.

The things I am looking for you to do in order to be successful with your challenge are:

• To research/ include facts about your chosen topic
• Organise your facts into appropriate sections, having a sub-heading for each section
• A title
• Include both images and text
• Layout is appropriate for your style of writing and attractive for the reader
• Topic words – language appropriate for your chosen topic

You can choose to type your report, write it on paper, write on a template etc.

If you would like paper or a template for me please let me know and I will provide this for you!

Have fun with this!!

Your research task is as follows:

To research a Significant Scot from the past. This could be an inventor, leader, public speaker and so on – try to choose a different Scottish person from last time.

The information you have to find out about to report back is:

• Who the person is
• Which part of Scotland they came from – find out information about the part of Scotland they come from so we can share facts with the class
• How they positively influenced Scotland
• The benefits we see today because of them

We will be using this information for our topic task on Thursday so please bring the information sheet with all of your findings in for then.

Looking forward to hearing all about your Significant Scot!

Today we were learning about integrity and why this is an important value for leaders. All children had to create a maze then make their way from the start to the end blindfolded. Each child had to put their trust into their partner for directions to lead them to the end of their maze.

This was a lovely exercise which everyone complete very well. Well done!!
