Su2 Homework in Class 5

Information for families working with pupils in Class 5

Homework tasks in Class 5 this half-term will link to the key curriculum areas, and learning skills, that we will be focusing on during the school day. These are as follows:

1) History – learning about Ancient Greece by focusing on the major achievements of their civilisation and its legacy in today’s society;

2) Literacy (spelling) – learning as many advanced words as possible in preparation for next year;

3) D.T. – continuing designing and making a model bridge;

4) Literacy (core skills)ensuring the best presentation of work and checking work for errors (try to progress to the Advanced work and complete as many tasks as possible);

5) Mathematics – developing key mathematical skills;

6) Literacy – linking our learning to our History topic, the class will learn about myths and legends and adventure stories;

7) Science – learning about the major organs of the human body and how the body changes with age;

8) R.E. – learning and reflecting on the parables Jesus taught;

9) P.E.  – improving our knowledge of, and skills in, cricket as well as taking part in Sports Week 2015; and

10) End of Year Performance/Music – Class 5 will be assisting Year 6 with their performance of The Lion King (scroll down to see access the songs).

These tasks are in addition to the usual recurring tasks of reading, times tables and spelling practice.

The usual structure for homework in Class 5 will be as follows (please note some weeks this usual structure may not apply due to special circumstances, e.g. preparing for/recounting a special event):

Monday – test preparation

The children will be set 10 new words to learn and write in a sentence (sentences should link to a piece of punctuation that the pupils are currently learning about). Tests will be sat on Friday with an expectation that the children score 100%.

Tuesday – foundation subject links

The class will complete a task that enhances their learning in a foundation subject area – see blog links above for examples.

Wednesday – Mathletics

Pupils are set a range of different tasks on the Mathletics website that relate to current curriculum areas.

Thursday – Literacy/Mathematics

The students will be given a task that links to current topics being covered in their Literacy/Mathematics lessons – see blog links above for examples.

    From looking at photos on the blog I think:
    the Ancient Greeks liked traditional stone buildings;
    they loved power and wanted to rule every country;
    they believed in lots of different gods and liked their rules;
    they believed that the gods were watching there every footstep it might have changed there behaviour;
    they tried to make up words so that over time they would have a mini language;
    they liked entertainment outside, probably sad stories;
    they thought the males were better than females as all actors were male;
    all the costumes were made by normal town people;
    they liked to represent important people by sculptures; and
    there was not a lot of difference in people’s money.
