Mrs Miller is talking about bringing the X-Factor back . . . so please have an extra big push on learning your tables this week. Even if you know up to 12 x 12, it’s worth doing some speed practice (remember: there are creme eggs at stake here!). 🙂

The children have been given a sheet today with ideas for independent homework on our geography topic of ‘Wild Water.’ This is just a starting point of ideas, the children will almost certainly have plenty of their own ideas. Please could they complete ONE activity and bring it in before the last week of term to share with the rest of the class. Their work can come in at any time before then to go on display and of course they are welcome to do more then one activity! The emphasis is on exploring areas of the topic which appeal to the children, being creative and having fun.

Homework Friday 8^th January

• Handwriting practice sheet – to be handed in on Monday 11^th, please.
• Talk to the adults at home and make a list of any imperial weights and measures that your family uses e.g. inches, feet, ounces, pints. For maths on Tuesday 12^th.

No homework set for half term – have a good break, everyone!

(Please keep reading and practising your tables and if you’re bored, there’s always independent topic work.)
