Homework
Homework
Over the course of the year, five activities are selected each half term from the 50 things to do before I am 5 challenges.
The activities are fun, creative and engaging and can be done in any order and in any way you choose. You can do one activity a week or all at once, it is your choice.
Once the activity is complete you can upload a photograph on Google Classroom or bring in an object, picture or model of what they have made, seen or experienced. These will then be shared in class and a smiley face spotter is awarded for their efforts.
If there are problems accessing the Google Classroom, please let me know and we will arrange a paper copy where possible.
