Quizzy Rascals Write a quiz including at least 10 questions about things we have learnt this week. If you put the answers on a separate page, then I can copy it for others in the class to try out!

Make Time to Talk Maybe there’s something you could teach your family... tell them about our class topic ‘Brazilian Carnival’ and demonstrate what we have learned

Become the Teacher! Can you create a starter activity for a Maths lesson? It could be a game or a list of quick-fire questions. Make it as exciting & engaging as possible – the best will be used in class!

These penny sweets are healthy enough that you should be eating some every day! Each activity on each day costs another penny, so (for example) if you read every night you’ve already spent 7p!

Got a great idea that is not on the menu? You can always design your own ‘special dish’. The cost of specials will be decided by Miss Homer and the best ideas will be added to the specials board for others to try.

Remember: Homework will be marked for: effort, presentation & creativity.

How it Works:

Each week simply pick one weekly

treat and as many penny sweets as

you can manage. Aim for 30p+

Homework books to be handed in every

Wednesday, with evidence of the treats

you have chosen over the past week.
