Autumn Term
Thursday 15th October
Additional Note 09/10/20
If you do not wish to discuss the question posed below, could you please focus your efforts on talking to your child about any visits they may have made to an animal sanctuary, zoo or safari park. From the comments we have already overheard in class we know that these will be positive conversations. Over the coming weeks children will have the opportunity during science lessons to:
- Share their experiences;
- Draw and label some of the animals they have seen;
- Identify similarities and differences;
- Discuss how each animal is suited to its habitat.
Thursday 8th October 2020
This week, the homework is Talk Time and should be completed by Tuesday 13th October.
Are animals happy in zoos?
This is a moral question, based around our science learning about living things, which we’d like you to discuss at home with your child. During the discussion with your child, it’s important to appreciate that there may be two opposing views and that although it’s okay to disagree we should respect the opposing view.
Top Tips:
- Turn the telly off.
- Sit around the dining table.
- Have a chat and share opinions and ideas.
- Children should talk with family, friends and each other – maybe even using FaceTime or Skype.
There is no need to record anything from your discussions at home. The children will be able to share their views during our Science lessons over the coming week.
Thank you for your support.

Thank you all for your fabulous pictures and wonderful sentences. We have thoroughly enjoyed looking at them all and will be displaying your work in the classroom.
Do remember though that sentences need capital letters and full stops.
Thursday 17th September
This week we would like the children to draw a picture of their pet or favourite animal. Underneath their picture we would like them to write one or two sentences telling us about their pet/ favourite animal. Please take a photo and email their work to homelearning@blakedownprimary.worcs.sch.uk.
We look forward to seeing their work.
