This week's homework and Spellings
This week's homework is for the children to write a letter to Jamie Oliver about their new healthy menu they have developed in class. They should invite him to come to school and use their persuasive writing skills in the letter.
In class we have looked at using the power of three (using three adjectives to describe something), rhetorical questions (questions that aren't necessarily answered) and alliteration (words starting with the same sound or letters).
Children should spend between 45 minutes and an hour on their homework and it is due on Friday 4th December 2015.
If you need a paper copy of the homework or spellings it is not a problem, there are always spare copies in the classroom and the children know where they are kept and to just help themselves if they need them. Alternatively there is a copy of the homework and the spllengs below.
This weeks homework:
This
week’s homework is a bit of a challenge! This week your homework is to write a
letter to Jamie Oliver, about your new school menu. Jamie Oliver is very
involved with healthy school menus and you are going to try and convince him
that you have developed the ultimate healthy school menu! I want you to invite
him to our school to look at our menus.
You should spend between 45 minutes and 1 hour completing your
homework. This letter should also be completed in your homework book.
If you lose your homework or your spellings remember we always
keep extra copies in the classroom, and a copy can also be found on the blog.
In
your letter you should:
·
First, explain to Mr Oliver about what we have
been doing in class, tell him about your menu and what you know about eating a
balanced diet and why it is important.
·
Then, try and persuade him that your menu is the
best healthy school menu there is. Also try and persuade him to come into our
school. Remember you could use some of
the persuasion techniques we have been looking at in class:
o
Alliteration (starting words with the same letter
of sound) e.g. my perfect pizza.
o
The power of three (three adjectives to describe
something) e.g. My menu is amazing, delicious and healthy.
o
Rhetorical questions (questions that aren’t
answered) e.g. Do you fancy eating from a menu that is both
healthy and delicious?
·
Finally, try and conclude you letter, so can you sum
up all the main points and invite him to our school.
Good luck and enjoy J
