Water Project homework  
Welcome back and I hope the children are getting excited about what their new topic will be about.
This half term’s topic is WATER ON TAP.
The topic is about the water and could include anything to do with water such as rivers, seas, food, drinks, floods, adverse weather conditions, weather forecasts etc.

Examples of work:  A long story with chapters (chapters, pictures linked to the topic of water such as a flood, lost at sea etc.) power points, large posters, models, map work, written reports, weather forecast , songs, videos, news  etc.
Your child will be expected to give a short presentation/reading their story to the rest of the class to show their finished product, during the last week:

Good luck and once again we are really looking forward to the wonderful creations and great ideas.
