Dear children, 

 

This week, I would like you to look at the 'Dream Big' image below. 

 

Once you have looked at it in some detail, I would like you to answer the following questions:

 

  • What do you think is happening ?
  • Why is the title called ‘Dream Big’?
  • Is the girl touching the stars? Did she draw the constellation?
  • Is the animal beside her a dog? A wolf? Something else?
  • Why are they standing on piles of books?

October half term homework 

 

This week, we have focused on 'Henry's Freedom Box.' You have all written some excellent pieces of work! Over half term, we would like you to create a box like Henry's. You can be as creative as you like, so use materials you have in your house. You could design the stamp for the box and address it to Philadelphia. Perhaps on the outside of the box, you could write reasons why slavery shouldn't exist. 

 

 

Enjoy the break with your families and loved ones.

 

God Bless,
