Homework 20th September 2019

This term in science we are looking at birds in our local area. We have noticed that we don’t attract a great variety into school. So, as a class we have decided to make some bird feeders to attract them.
The class have also made the decision to be environmentally friendly and use recycled materials.
If you follow this link it should provide some good ideas.

On Wednesday we hope to make them in class, so homework is to collect all the things they may need. If they want to draw some ideas in their books or they can put in some pictures.
I will provide hot glue gun and bird food.

ALL NEEDS TO BE IN SCHOOL BY WEDNESDAY PLEASE.

Thank you
Mrs Roberts

Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday – Homework handed in.

Please ensure that all children have a water bottle in class with their name on. You don’t have to have a fancy, expensive bottle, a plastic drinks bottle is fine. BUT PLEASE ENSURE ONLY WATER IS GIVEN TO CHILDREN.

Daily – In order for your child to make progress it is helpful if they can do 5 to 10 minutes of reading each day and please log this in their reading journal.
