Homework Week Seven

It feels like ages since we last had homework. Therefore you will have lashings of energy for this week?s challenges.

Word Study

Describe the castle of Varrox without using the letter ?t?.
Keep in mind the stunning work that you did describing your Varroxian creature. There are a couple of excellent examples on the blog. Check them out.

Times tables focus = 9x

Are you remembering to read EVERY day? I hope so. You must record the titles of what you read and get a parent to sign your homework.

Let's make Varrox

As you may be aware Room One no longer exists, we are now Varrox. The people of Varrox have renounced most of the English language and gone back to speaking Latin. Therefore our previous names have been changed. Do you know your child?s new Latin name and what it means?

We are now about to embark on transforming our classroom into a Varroxian landscape. If you have any polystyrene please may we use it? A Weta workshop advisor has shared some secrets to simply and effectively create a major change in our room.

This Friday morning from 9am we will need a few parents with dressmaking scissors to create our Varroxian costumes. There is NO SEWING involved, just a bit of snipping and measuring.

Each child will need to acquire, not necessarily buy, a long sleeved black top and black leggings/trousers.

To embellish our dark soldierly and orclike costumes any interesting belts, sashes, scarves, clasps, brooches etc in black /grey /silver gold would be great to borrow. Please bring them along on Friday. Most of us are soldiers as well as having another Varroxian role.

Thank you

Anna's fearsome Varroxian creature.

Her scales are midnight blue and as cold as ice. Her talons are black and sharp. Her paws are monstrous and hard as stone. Her tail is long and as thick as a tree trunk. The Dargoyle of Varrox is terrifying yet beautiful in a way. Her long, barred teeth look like daggers and her eyes are as black and bottomless as a bottomless pit. The Dargoyle is enormous and so ghastly that even the evil King Alerick and his most fearless warriors fear her.

Chris' Varroxian Creature

As I enter the misty mountains of treacherous Varrox the wind begins to drop. Suddenly a flash of lightning hits a mountain ridge that I had just come across. I gasp in horror but as I turn around I begin to freeze as if I was fading away. I see a massive three headed shadow approaching me, I can't move, it's like I am glued to the floor.
Now that the mist has cleared I can see the creature, it seems to be in the middle of a meal. The creature has three snake heads and a body like a tyrannasaurus-rex, it has cuts and bruises everywhere and has seeping pus out of an arrow wound and is making a horrible screeching sound. It looks like one of the heads can eat me in one bite.
It has finished eating and looks at me- it could outrun me any day. But it strolls away from me, it must think I'm a Varroxian. I'm saved.
