You are to complete one themed piece of homework once a fortnight. 

You can choose how you want to present your homework. It can be a piece of art, writing, a presentation - it's entirely up to you.  

You will also be expected to complete other tasks such as maths, arithmetic, reading and spellings, set on your homework folder.
