- do something nice for your parents or carers
- spend some time relaxing and being mindful – remember our workshop?

The homework this week is creative and is due on Thursday 14 December.
I can show what I know about a festival.
Around this time, many children in school will celebrate or will have celebrated a religious festival of some sort. This might be the Christian festival of Christmas (of course, celebrated by many non-Christians in the UK, too). It might also be the Sikh and Hindu festival Diwali, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, and the Chinese New Year festival which is early in the new year.
There are lots of other festivals and celebrations which you and your child together might want to reflect on. You can research more festivals.
We invite children to respond to the sentence above – they might include a recount (like a diary entry), pictures, an interview (perhaps in a script). Your child might also choose to research a completely unknown festival, or they might even think about creating a brand new festival, one that everyone will celebrate.

Following our whole school themed week this week, Who do you think you are? Children should consider the following statement by showing what they have learnt.

- Where is their community? Children could consider their school community to local community to wider community.
- Who is in their community? Children could consider visits/visitors during our themed week.
- Why is community important? Children could consider the terms identity and diversity discussed during our themed week.

This could be done in any creative way.

For all children in Year 1 – Year 6, the homework this week is talk time and is due in on Thursday 23 November
Which charity should our school support?
Throughout the year, our school will be holding different fundraising events and it’s important that the children have a say in which charity we support. Have a chat with your child and talk about which sorts of charities they would like to support. Write the suggestions and we’ll vote for our chosen charity during our homework review.
You may want to focus on children’s charities. Or, you may have family or friends who work for or have been supported by a charity.
