Below are suggested homework activities to assist your child in practising work they have been learning about in class and can be completed at any point throughout this week.

A homework jotter has been provided for you to record any answers.

Limit your child to using two pages each week please.

Staff will NOT COLLECT THESE but you could photograph the pages and upload them to your child’s personal Glow page. See the “How to” video on the main page to help you.

Challenge activities have been included at the end of each curricular area section if you feel your child can extend the concepts – these are not compulsory.

OTHER CURRICULAR AREAS: ART & DESIGN

Remember we sketched the school using a writing pencil?

We DID NOT lean heavily and our pencil grip was LIGHT.

USING THE PAPER PROVIDED:

Make a sketch of the view outside your house. Sit at your front window or front doorstep and sketch what you see. Lean on a book or something hard to help.

We are excited to see what your sketches look like so if you can please upload your work onto your glow page.

Have a great week!

Mrs Saxelby and P2 Team
