P6 Homework

As P6 have their class assembly next Thursday (12th)  afternoon, their main homework this week and next will be to prepare for it. This will involve learning lines and practising their plays.

All students still have spelling words and should read the next two or three chapters in their group reading books, depending on what we agree in class for each group.

You should also be practising all times tables.

P6 homework

P6 Homework

Welcome back to the new term, I hope everyone has enjoyed the holiday.

All groups have spelling words to learn for next week’s dictation.

Everyone needs to bring in a picture of a person either from a magazine or photo which they will be able to use to talk about their clothes in French. We will be learning the vocabulary in French to help but if you want to look extra words up to help you that’s great.

All due Monday 18th April

P6 telling the time in French

Over the last two weeks P6 has been learning to tell the time in French so we went outside to test how well we could understand by making the time when we heard it in French. This week we did the same but using ourselves as the clock hands!

P6 homework (Miss Prior) Due 23.03.16

Article from Newsround

Secondary schools in England could have longer school days due to new government plans.

George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is responsible for setting out how the government plans to spend its money each year in his budget.

In a speech yesterday he announced that he wants to allow head teachers of English secondary schools to scrap traditional “home time” and instead decide themselves what time the school day will end.

This means that school days could be longer.

The Chancellor says his plans will mean “every child gets the best start in life”. But some teachers say it’s more complicated, and that they’re already offering after school activities.

 

You are going to form an argument for and against having longer school days in Scotland.

Please write:

  • 1 paragraph on why it would be beneficial to have a longer school day.
  • 1 paragraph against having a longer school day.
  • Then as a conclusion write your own opinion on the subject.
  • Please write this as a personal piece in first person.

P6 homework

All groups have an extra week to practise their spelling spelling words but don’t have to complete another activity for the same words. Choose two more words to learn this week that you think you need or want to learn.

Also, this week listen to a piece of music that isn’t what you would normally listen to and compare it to your favorite song right now. Write your opinion of the piece – remember AND WHY?! Due Monday 21st March 2016
