Your homework for the holiday break is linked to our Black History topic which we will really be sinking our teeth into when we get back!

Your task is to find out information on famous black people, or events that have involved black people in the past.  You will need to look at how they have contributed to history. You may wish to look at a particular person of event that interests you.

The Black History month website may be a useful starting point:

You will need to present the information that you find in an interesting way, for example, in a PowerPoint presentation, a speech, a poster, or any other way that you can think of!

Good luck and enjoy your holiday break!

Your homework for this week is linked to our literacy work on Performance Poetry. 

Your task is to find a poem that you like.

 You will then need to practice performing it by thinking about:

• How fast or slow you read it.
• Which words you want to say louder or quieter.
• The type of voice you will read it in.
• The facial expressions you will use.
• Your body movements.
