Homework w/b 17/9/18

Good afternoon! Here is our homework for the week ahead:

As there is a holiday on Friday, all homework is due in for Thursday. Next week, homework will be given out on Tuesday and due in on Friday.

Reading

Each child has been given a new school reading book to read aloud and discuss this week. These will be collected in on Thursday.

Maths

In class this week we will be looking at addition. The homework sheet is based around this. I have advised the children that they are welcome to borrow a number line from the class should they wish to help them. The sheet should be completed and handed back by Thursday.

Spelling

We discussed the sound ‘ng’ today and came up with some fantastic words! The spelling words we chose were:

king, long, song and wing.

Our four common words this week are:

for, on, are and as.

As always, please ask if you have any queries either through the homework diary or at the end of the day.

Please remind children to hand in any letters they may have in the mornings along with their diary.

I have posted the solo talk instructions as a reminder. The children have already been sharing information about who they have been interviewing and seem excited to share this with the class.

Solo Talk Homework

This term the children are learning about People Who Help Us. They have been looking at various jobs within the community. We would like the children to investigate jobs a little further by delivering a solo talk. This should be about a job which someone in your family does.

The solo talk could include the following information:

  • Job Title
  • Why the adult selected this job.
  • Duties involved in the job.
  • Uniform required.
  • Any extra information.

We will be looking for:

  • Good eye contact with the audience.
  • Clear projection of voice.
  • Good pace.
  • Notes used effectively.
  • Children should not be reading their solo talk from a piece of paper.

The children should be prepared to deliver their solo talk the week beginning 24th September.

We look forward to hearing these amazing presentations!
