Dear parents, this is our homework grid for this half term. Every other week there will be a maths homework, but on alternate weeks please help your child choose a homework task
from one of the boxes, starting this week please. They need to complete one task every other week only. Where appropriate completed work can be stuck in the homework book,
although this will not be suitable for some of the more practical tasks. Any photos stuck in of a practical task are always welcome. I hope that you will enjoy sharing your child’s
learning through these activities. Where a child wants a further challenge to a homework task, there is an extension activity to take the learning a further step if required.
Please can parents sign and date the box when a homework is completed.

Science – Habitats
Only three of our British mammals hibernate;
hedgehogs, dormice and bats.
Whilst they sleep their body temperature needs to
stay cool so they don’t waste energy trying to keep
warm. The rest of our mammals, however, need to have
a warm cosy shelter to snuggle up in during the cold
winter weather. What sort of shelter would you build
for a wood mouse or a bank vole?
How can you make the home as cosy as possible? Look
for materials around you, find a suitable place and build
away!
Extension – can you draw a labelled diagram to explain
your design?
