There are two homework tasks for you to complete this week.

1. Maths – Please could you all practice your number formation, especially making sure that all of your digits are facing the right way, and if you are practicing 2 digit numbers that the numbers are in the correct order! You could do this in all sorts of ways, maybe try painting numbers, or using chalk in the garden.
2. Science – since finding the great crested newts in our school pond, I would like to create a display about them in the hall. Please could you create something about great crested newts for this. It could be a model, poster, a picture, painting, collage or factfile. It’s completely up to you!

Homework is due in next Friday morning.

We have had great fun today making our Jubilee coleslaws (pictures will be on our Haughmond News page). Most of us have managed to save some to bring home for our families to taste too!

For homework, I would like you to taste test your coleslaw with your family. I would like you to find out and record what other people thought about the appearance, texture, taste and smell of your coleslaw. Record what they said and bring it to school after half term so you can use their comments in your evaluation.

Also, please take a photo of yourself (and others) eating your coleslaw and e-mail it to the school office or Mrs Gregory so that they can be added to your DT books.

For the next couple of weeks I would like you work really hard at learning your 2, 5 and 10 times tables and the division facts that go with them.

Here are some websites that you can use to help your practising.

There are also lots of apps that can help you remember the facts.

Also, I would like you to keep practising your addition and subtraction facts. You could use the 1 Minute Maths App from White Rose to help you with this. It is free to download.

I would like you to try and spend some time practising each day in order to really secure your knowledge of these facts.

This week I would like you to decorate an egg for Easter. It’s up to you what theme you choose for your egg(s). One year my son created the ‘Eggvengers!’

Please bring in your decorated eggs on Friday 8th April. There will be prizes!

As requested by the children, here is the link to the symmetry activity we were doing in our maths lesson today.

Today in class we have been thinking about how we could welcome Caleb, the refugee in our story, to the UK. For homework this week I think it would be nice for you to write a welcome message to a real refugee arriving in the UK.

You can do this at Refugee Council Welcome Messages

If you would like to, you can take a screenshot or copy and paste your message and send it into school so that I can see it too.
