EXTRA - EXTRA - EXTRA!

You will have been given one of these - please memorise it - I will check next week whether or not you have done so...

Homework 01.10.2018: (due back on 12.10.2018)

This week, as you have worked incredibly hard in class, a treat to start - I require a new cover for your learning journal created.  Remember - you have requested to do this - Don't let me down.

What I DO NOT require:

• messy, sloppy & last minute work.
• a cover which is so thick, it will not function correctly.
• a cover which has not been designed with passion, interest, individuality or care...This is NOT a 'Doss' homework - do not present one, it will be returned.

What I DO require:

• a cover which has been crafted with pride & reflects you as an individual & the work that will be contained within it over the year. (Base your ideas on the different subjects we learn in school)
• you to think out of the box & without restraint.  Simply put in the amount of effort which you would do in class.
• for you to have fun and enjoy your task. (All Minecraft, Pokémon,Fortnight & Super Hero covers will be pulped!)

I have enclosed some amazing examples to stimulate your imagination - use them as something to fire yourself up - I am not expecting something to be exhibited in the Tate Modern, merely something which will reflect your own individual personality & what you enjoy in school.

Lastly... If you are not having fun, or are not totally absorbed by what you are attempting, stop, think and try another approach.  If learning isn't fun, it isn't worth doing. Good Luck.

Homework for the week 19/10/2018 - Due back on 05/11/2018.:

Following on from our studies in Topic about the Ancient Greeks, I'd like a piece of work which involves cooking / preparing food / writing about it, from this monumental culture. (Don't panic! - Can't cook anything? - find what they ate that didn't require cooking.)

• Emerging work will be someone creating a particular food / dish & adding a piece of writing describing it.
• Expected work will be someone researching a particular food / dish eaten by the Ancient Greeks & adding a recipe / piece of writing describing it.
• Greater depth work will build on the Expected work, but describing the historical part & the significance of what you are preparing. (i.e. Why are you preparing a fish dish? - Athens was a port & had a powerful Navy & fishing fleet)

You may present your work in any format, however, I will be looking for the following inclusions from our recent Literacy work:

• Correct use of colons & semi-colons in the writing.
• Excellent presentation & handwriting (work may be produced on a computer)
• A detailed plan guiding the work.
• Any research you have done to be attached to the final piece.

What I do not want:

• Shabby work stuck in your learning journal.
• work done on separate sheets. (apart from computer generated sheets)
• copy & paste rubbish...

Any problems, please do ask & feel free to use items from your Topic books & note books. Enjoy!

Homework for the week 23/11/2018 - Due back on 30/11/2018.:

Following on from our studies in Topic about the Ancient Greeks, I'd like a piece of work which focuses on the differences between the City States of Athens & Sparta.

You are to select the City State you agree with the most, then create a wealth of supporting information for you to debate in favour of it.  Other children will be promoting their views for your opposing City State - you will have to anticipate this & plan your questions / argument accordingly...

• Emerging work will be someone discussing the positive (In their opinion) points of their chosen City State & piece of writing describing it.
• Expected work will be someone discussing the positive (In their opinion) points of their chosen City State, creating an argument to promote it & piece of writing describing it.
• Greater depth work will build on the Expected work, but will anticipate what your opponent will be saying about their City State & creating a counter argument for every point - then watch them crash and burn...

You may present your work in any format, however, I will be looking for the following inclusions from our recent Literacy work:

• Correct use of colons & semi-colons in the writing.
• Excellent presentation & handwriting (work may be produced on a computer)
• A detailed plan guiding the work.
• Any research you have done to be attached to the final piece.

What I do not want:

• Shabby work stuck in your learning journal.
• work done on separate sheets. (apart from computer generated sheets)
• copy & paste rubbish...

Any problems, please do ask & feel free to use items from your Topic books & note books. Enjoy!
