As part of this terms topic I have asked the children to create a Home Learning Project.
This is to extend our learning and to get the children to research and develop an idea for themselves.
You are going to create your own folder/file/scrapbook of tasks related to this terms topic – ‘Settlements/Community′.
The tasks fit into different categories like KNOWLEDGE, COMPREHENSION, APPLICATION, ANALYSIS, EVALUATION and SYNTHESIS. Each of these requires you to use different skills.
You get to choose what to do and how much because each activity has a ‘Points Value’.
The final presentation can be very personal and as long as it fulfills the instructions it will be fine!
Autumn 2012 Project – Local Community
(Download yourself a copy above if you lose yours)
Here are some guidelines to follow so you get this project in on time:
You must choose a minimum of 10 activities to do. You must do at least 1 from each section, but not more than 3 from one section.
Your aim is to complete at least 20 points (Points in Brackets). Think carefully about which activities you can do to balance sections and points.
You should complete the tasks that you choose and put them into a folder or a scrapbook. REMEMBER: You are not expected to do every task on the sheet.
This shouldn’t necessarily be a solo project, unless you want it to be of course, get the grown-ups involved too, draw upon the skills of parents, grandparents, older (or younger!) brothers and sisters. These people LOVE a challenge – but they SHOULD NOT be doing it for you!
If you have any queries, questions or concerns – just ask Mr Watson.

Remember that if you ‘go the extra step’ and extend any of the challenges then BONUS POINTS will be available!
Copy and Paste from any source of information like a book, leaflet or the Internet and passing it off as your own WILL result in PENALTY POINTS!
Can you be the one to work hard and score the most points?
Good luck and I hope that you enjoy the challenge!
Mr W.
