As next week is the October week, and we won’t be at school, you do not have to take your homework jotters home to complete any formal written homework.

However, here are a few ideas and activities that you could be doing over the holiday which will help you to progress:

• reading – books, recipes, newspapers, magazines, catalogues – anything, as long as you are reading at home, with or without an adult.
• choose a recipe to follow and make a delicious meal, cakes or biscuits, with an adult.  This will help your reading, maths and organisational skills.
• go shopping with an adult.  Add up what is going in the shopping basket as it goes in.  You may need a notepad to help you jot calculations down.  Can you get your estimation close to the final total at the till?
• Alternatively, ask for an adult’s shopping receipt, with the total amount scored out – can you calculate the correct total?
• watch the news and read the newspaper! Can you find any current developments or news about space and space exploration? If you find any articles, cut them out and bring them in for our topic!

Finally, just have a wonderful holiday and stay safe!
