School Value—Perseverance

Throughout the month of January, our school value has been perseverance.  We have explored this theme through our worships and this week’s homework is linked to it.  We would like you to complete any activity connected to this value.  You can choose anything that you like but here are some ideas to get you started.  You could:

*Write about a time that you have to persevere.  Why did you carry on and not give up?  How did it make you feel?

*Find out about a famous person i.e. a sportsperson, charity fundraiser etc that has shown perseverance.

*Draw a picture that illustrate what the word perseverance means to you.

These are just a few ideas but please feel free to be as creative as you want around this theme.

Your homework is due in on Wednesday 2nd February.

Solids and liquids homework

Times Tables:

We are having more of a focus on times table knowledge in class.  This is for two reasons: firstly, pupils are expected to know all tables facts up to 12 x 12 fluently by the end of Year 4 and secondly, they will find so many aspects of maths easier with a quicker recall of these facts.  Therefore, we will be completing activities in school as well as sending weekly sheets looking at times tables and related division facts.  Children will move onto the next sheet up when they have achieved full marks in school.  There will not be a time limit on completing the sheets in school.  TTRockstars is also excellent for practising times tables and can be used at anytime at home.

1) Please complete the times table sheet given out in class and return it to school stuck in your homework book.

2) Login to TTRockstars again and spend at least 15 minutes working on quick recall using the ‘Garage’ section.

Your homework is due in on Wednesday 24th November.  Feedback for the mymaths tasks will be logged through that site.
