KINGFISHERS’ HOMEWORK GRID
Dear Parent/Carer,
Next half term your child will begin a new topic ‘To Infinity and Beyond’. The children will study a space based topic which
covers science fiction stories, poetry and non-fiction report writing about space and the solar system.
In science we are exploring the solar system and how sound travels. The children will also learn computing skills and
experience a full day of R.E.
Dear Student,
You can choose to do these activities in any order…have fun!!
These activities are not marked, but if you would like to bring them to school to show, we would love to see them!
