Half Term Homework, due Friday 4th November

After the holidays, we will be learning about the home life of the Ancient Greeks: what they wore, what they ate, what their homes were like, the kind of jobs they did and the religion that they practised.

To get you started, we would like you to find out about the Ancient Greeks gods and goddesses. A good website to start you off can be found here: http://www.historyforkids.net/ancient-greek-gods.html




The gods and goddesses were believed to be responsible for different aspects of Ancient Greek life. Can you find one that has a link to your life, hobbies and interests? For example, if you like swimming, water sports or lazing on a beautiful beach, then you might like Poseidon, the God of the Sea.


Your task is to choose your favourite god or goddess and write them a letter telling them what you like about them and describing their best qualities and powers. You could try to use some exciting adjectives and sensational similes. It might be a good idea to ask them some interesting questions too!


I can't wait to see what you find out!


Have a lovely break. I'm looking forward to seeing you back at school soon.

Literacy Homework

Next week we will be writing a letter to Big Ben at the Houses of Parliament to ask if we are allowed to go and visit! Therefore your task this week is to do some research into Big Ben and come up with five pieces of information or questions that you might want to include in your letter. Please do not write the letter. We will be doing this in class.

We will be using this information in lessons so you may find it easier to do this work on paper. This means you can have it with you at your desk while you are writing. Please ask for paper if you need it.

Literacy Homework due Friday, 14th October 2016

We have received another letter from Bebop the alien! Please could you write your response to the letter on the blog. Bebop would like you to tell him all about your daily routine here on Earth. What sort of things do you like doing? Remember to write in chronological (time) order and to use your time adverbials (Firstly, later, then, next, afterwards, soon, meanwhile, whilst, a short while later, etc)

Dear Children,

My name is Bebop and I am from the planet Boogie.

Boogie Land seems very different from your planet! Let me run you through a typical day on Boogie Land. Firstly, we are woken up at 6am by a bright green laser that flashes into our bedrooms. After that, we attach ourselves to the electronic recharger for five minutes so that we have energy for the day. A little while later, we wash ourselves with Boogie Cleaning Fluid and an old rag. Sometimes, if we feel a bit creaky, we have to oil our joints. We always feel as good as new afterwards! Next, we hop onto our spaceships and get to work fixing stars and planets. We don't stop until the evening. Finally, at 7pm, we leap aboard our sleeping stations and drift away into the land of nod.

 I like it here but I am getting a bit bored. I want to travel the world and see other planets. I keep looking at your planet on the internet and it looks great. Tell me more about it please. I want to know what you do each day. What do you eat and how do you get around?

Please write back, who knows I might come and visit one day!

Regards

Bebop a Lula
