Homework Term one Week Five (Feb 23 - 27)

Task one: Report writing

As you all know we’ve been working on writing reports. We will be working in class on your draft copy of your report on your chosen topic.

1     1.) Please use your time at home to have your draft copy completed by Friday (you’ll need to take your draft book home and return it to school every day.)

     2.) Please have a parent read over it also, perhaps they can help you with editing once you’ve proofread and edited it yourself.

Remember to include the features of a Report that we’ve discussed in class!

Task Two: Current Events

If you are on Current Events any time this week (see the timetable on the board in Rm 6) please be prepared, complete the tasks outlined in the Current Events scrapbook and return the book to school the next day.

Task Three: Spelling

You should each have your list of words for this week. In class we have done your ‘tooling’. If you need to repeat this at home to be confident with your words for this week then please do. Test your words every night and be ready for a spelling test on Friday.

Task Four: Reading

Thanks most of you for your reading summaries last week, well done. As usual please spend at least 15 minutes each night reading your book. This week please design a new cover for your book, think particularly about the most significant events and characters. Use one whole page of your homework book for this task.
