As part of the science curriculum we have to study our local environment in each season.

This week we will be going outside to explore our school grounds to see what plant life and animal life we can find.

So, I would like the children to look in their gardens to see what leaves they can see, and perhaps on the way to school. I have included in their books a woodland trust leaf identifier. Maybe, your children could stick in an example of some of the leaves they have found.

Woodland Trust – science homework

This week the children have been asked to complete an acrostic poem.

They have chosen either the words, Thank you, Poppy or Poppies.

We have been through this in class and completed a few examples.

As it is remembrance weekend I thought it would be nice to complete a colourful drawing too.

Homework – Grinshill class – Friday 28th September 2018
This is a project that will take a couple of weeks I want them handed in on Thursday 18th October 2018.
I would like you to build ‘Stone Henge’ on a smaller scale.
You can use any material you like, clay, stones, cardboard or anything else you like.
But it must look like Stone Henge. You will need to do some research on your computer, or we have some books in school to help too.

The children have images in their books to show how it used to look and how it looks now.

I will leave it up to you which model you want to build.
I will still expect spellings, times table and reading to be done too.

Grinshill Class

On Thursday 27th September we will be going on our class trip, so to help us get ready I would like you to do some research.

English

1. Can you find out how to make a shelter out of branches, twigs, leaves and moss?
2. You can include a picture from the internet or one of your own of anything that looks really good.
3. I would like some sentences of how to make it too please.

Maths

Can practice your times tables for a test next week?

Year 2 – 2 times table only

Year 3 – 4 times table only

Reading

It is so important that you are reading with your child for at least 10 minutes a night at least 5 days a week.

Spellings

Can you practice these for their test each Monday morning please. Please use the Look, cover, write, check method that we are using in class. If you are not sure call in to see Mrs Roberts.
