Missing coats

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately a boy has lost not one, but two of his coats after being hung up in the cloakroom. The first one was grey with blue and red stripes on the arms, the second a Helly Hansen bright blue waterproof with new pair of gloves in the pocket.

If someone has taken these home by accident (lots of people have similar coats) or sees them lying around please return to me.

Many thanks,

Miss Dyke

Literacy Homework Due in 09.11.16

In class we have been coming up with actions and re-telling the information text about ‘The Pillory’. For homework this week, please can children practice learning the information text. If possible could parents make a note of how many times they practiced this. 

As an additional bit of homework (if you have time) the children have been given a different information text in their red homework books, and they must label the key features of it.

Have a good weekend and enjoy Bonfire night!

Tudor Monarch Research Project

Due in on Tuesday 4th  October

We have just met all the Tudor Monarchs and are beginning to learn a little about them.  For your homework in the coming weeks we’d like you to create a leaflet or poster or an other interesting presentation (e.g. Facebook page, model, powerpoint)  about one of the Tudor Monarchs (kings or queens).  Think about the examples you were shown from last year. Your project must include:

  • Dates of birth and death
  • Dates of monarchy (when they were king or queen)
  • Who/if they married and the names of any children
  • Interesting facts
  • A picture of the monarch

Make sure your work:

  • Shows neat presentation
  • Is eye catching!

You can use books or the topic page on this blog (for links) to help you find out information. Don’t forget homework club Monday lunchtimes and ask us if you need internet access or any resources such as paper, card etc.download-1

 

Literacy Homework 09.09.16

Literacy Homework – due in Wednesday 14th September

In class, we have been learning about the ‘VCOP’ superheroes and how they help us in our writing. To start our ‘Imaginary Worlds’ topic next week and to celebrate Roald Dahl day we have chosen an extract from ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ Please read the extract with your child and see if they can highlight the VCOP.

Once you have read the story, identify and underline some (not all!) examples of:

Vocabulary – adjectives, adverbs and verbs

Connectives – joining words, e.g. and, because, but, so

Openers – words / phrases that start sentences

Punctuation – underline ONE example of each

Use colouring pencils. This will help you when writing your own version next week.
