Homework for Autumn Term 1 The tasks are outlined below, with 6 activities that can be completed in any order, as long as they are completed by the end of this half term (Friday 24th October). You may wish to complete 2 pieces one week and then have a week off from homework. This way of completing homework allows the children to take ownership of their learning and also allows for more flexible learning. We would like homework books in on a Thursday ready to give out on the following Monday so we can mark the homework regularly and see how the half termly homework is working for the children. Geography/Topic Find map of Africa in a book
or online and copy it. Then
research facts about it and
label it with African
countries, facts about the
Kenyan population and
climate information.
