This week, our homework is Talk Time: I can use the 8Rs to help me learn.
In school, we use the 8Rs for learning: ready, responsive, risk-taking, responsibility, resourceful, resilient, reflect and remember.
We’d like the children to discuss what these words mean to them. Below is a list of questions that might help with your discussion.
How do the 8 Rs help you in school?
When have you used the 8 Rs outside of school?
How could you explain the meaning of each word in the 8 Rs?
Which 8 R do you think you use the most?
Which 8 R could you use more often?
How could you use the 8 Rs at home?
Remember to keep practising your times tables facts on Times Tables Rockstars too. Each child has been given their username and password again to take home.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due on Thursday 17 September.
What qualities do you look for in a friend?
This half term, our Christian value is friendship. In school and in collective worship, we will be looking at what makes a good friend and examples of being a good friend from the Bible. With your family, discuss the main question ‘what qualities do you look for in a friend?‘ along with the other suggestions underneath. Be prepared to talk about your answers in our homework review.
There’s an old saying that goes, “In order to have good friends, you have to be a good friend.”
What does that mean? Do you think it’s true? Why? What are the benefits of having friends who are different from us?
