Homework wc 13th January


Literacy Homework

Task: For Literacy homework this week, we’d like you to build on the excellent work you completed at home last week. You should already have a list of interesting facts that you wrote about an animal of your choice. We’d now like you to organise your facts carefully.

Firstly, read your facts again and think about headings that would fit well, for example, if you wrote fact that lions eat other animals you might choose the heading ‘Food’ or if you wrote a fact that elephants have rough, grey skin you might choose the heading ‘skin.’ Then write a paragraph of information under each heading, try to develop your ideas. Lastly, next to each paragraph, draw a picture or diagram to fit with your writing.

There are templates available to help you organise your report or if you feel confident you can write your report straight into your homework book using headings and pictures.

Challenge: If you feel confident completing the homework task above then include an introduction and summary to your report.

Numeracy Homework
 
 
Numeracy homework is about finding the difference between two numbers, for example, the difference between 10 and 12 is 2. There are worksheets that can be printed off the GLG about finding the difference or feel free to write your own questions and answers in your homework book.
 
The difference between 18 and 24 is 6.
