Create a diagram.¨ Research paintings of water—rivers, lakes and seas— write a little about your favourite ‘style’ of painting.¨ Research how charities such as WATER AID help people in need. Create a booklet to explain.¨ Water is cleaned for us to use in our homes... Where does it go?
3 POWer Points:Develop your creativity:
¨ Make a model to explain the journey of a river.¨ Design an invention to help people who live in areas prone to flooding for Dragon’s Den.¨ Use your choice of materials to create a picture of a water scene (maybe a canal, stream or sea).
1 POWer Point: Explore:
¨ http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/rivers.html¨ Rivers in our locality (BE SAFE!).
2 POWer Points:Explore your mathematical/
entrepreneurial skills:¨ Carry out a water survey. How much water is used in your home? Present your data in charts and graphs.¨ Plan a journey down one of the world’s rivers. How long would it take? How far? What provisions? Cost? ¨ Plan a charity event to raise money for those in need—flooding. How would you advertise? What would you need to plan? How much would it cost? How will you record how much your raise?

Behaviour
At Wylde Green we are trying to improve children’s learning behaviour by changing the vocabulary that we use with them and our systems for monitoring behaviour.
Children are asked to make the right ‘choice’ with their behaviour and understand that the consequences are as follows:
Warning.
Move down the ladder ONCE.
Move down again. Once they have moved 3 times, they will be issued a Yellow Card and will spend the next morning break.
Red cards are issued for serious offences such as fighting (including play fighting), damaging property and serious disrespect.
Reading Comments…• Your child will be listened to read once/week during their guided reading session. It is still
really important for you to listen to your child read at least twice a week if possible.
• You are expected to complete and sign their Reading Record with them.
