In this Homework Journal you will be completing activities to earn points - points mean
prizes! Each week, you have to choose one activity from the boxes below. You work hard at
home and then reveal your beautifully presented piece of homework to your teacher by
Friday. It will then be checked to see if the standard is worth the points! At the end of the half
term, there will be a class presentation for the top 5 highest scorers. GOOD LUCK!
