Homework Due:7th Sept


PhD Homework                              Due: Friday 7th Sept

 

Basic Facts is Friday – be prepared and meet the challenge with confidence

Spelling – as above… get stuck into your list words now.  Extension spellers make sure you do half definitions (not just synonyms) and half using the word in a (full) sentence.  

Can you believe we have a speller who is yet to miss even one word ALL year!!!!!!!

 

1.   Paper plane Challenge

Aim: to throw your paper plane the farthest.

Fine print: one piece of standard A4 paper, decorated (so MUST be prepared), no ‘add ons’, thrown with ‘opposite’ hand, top 3 from each space qualifies for final, one throw

 
OR

       2.    A weighty issue

Aim: to make a floating barge that can carry the heaviest weight before sinking.

Fine print: one piece of standard A4 paper, weights from school, decorated (so MUST be prepared), no ‘add ons’, top weight wins

 

Why?

Research, trial and error, competition, art and design, enjoyable, own challenge at home, focus on BF and spelling, no writing homework, adapting, origami skills
