Welcome to this week’s blog. Homework was sent out at the end of last week Spellings to learn for the next week and a long term project on the civil war. This is a copy of the homework.

Warrington in the Civil war Project homework

In school we have started a topic on Warrington in the Civil war. We would like the children to find out about an aspect of Warrington  in the past. For example : the waterways, tannery, brewery, Crosfields, the rugby team, the wire industry, the history of transport or any history of local building or famous person linked with Warrington.

Examples of work: power points, large posters, models, map work, written reports etc.

Your child will be expected to give a short presentation to the rest of the class to show their finished product, during the last week before half term.

14^th to the 18^th of October.

Good luck and we are really looking forward to the wonderful creations. 

Please note this is to replace the sentence homework. We will be still doing the maths homework and learning spellings.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to come in and see one of the three and four team.
