Homework

Week 3 Homework this week is quite simple. You need to write your teacher a letter about how you are feeling now that you are in the 5/6 area. Some points to mention include what you enjoy doing in class and outside school, things you look forward to this year, favourite subjects, other family members at the school, dreams for the year, where you think you need to improve, who you enjoy working with or anything else you can think of. You can email me your letter or write it in your homework book. kmayhew@smwodonga.catholic.edu.au Have fun!! I am really looking forward to reading the letters!!!

Week 4 (Due Friday 19th February, 2010) Write a book report about a book you have read recently. It needs to include the title, author, a summary of the plot, recommendations, and an explanation as to why you liked or disliked the book. Give the book a rating out of 5 stars. [|Here] is a link to a PDF that will help you to organise your thoughts. When you have finished, design a new front cover for the book.
