Homework
This week's homework is a short written homework. I would like you to think of three people who you admire (they can be real or fictional, but at least one has to be real) and give a reason why.

For example:
I admire my Mam for always giving excellent advice.
I admire my Dad for being a D.I.Y. master - he can make or fix almost anything!
I admire Han Solo for being rebellious but making the right choices in the end.

You can write your sentences down and bring them in, or you could ask a grown up to help you e-mail them to me if that's easier.
We'll be sharing your choices with the class on Friday 27th September.
 
Thanks,
Mr J

Homework
In the Traction Man stories that we've been reading, Traction Man's enemies are everyday household objects. Here are some of them - Wicked Professor Spade, The Poisonous Dishcloth and The Broom:
For your homework this week, I’d like you to create your own villain using an everyday household object. You can use anything you like (a vacuum cleaner, a sock, a scooter, a pan…) but check with your grown up first! Add whatever you need to them (drawings, buttons, feathers, googly eyes…) to turn them into a character. You’ll need to think of an awesome name and also write a short description. I chose some scissors and used paper and some Blu-Tack to turn them into The Evil Scissor Shark! Here’s my description: The Evil Scissor Shark likes to prowl the blue carpet looking for paper to snip into tiny pieces. Watch out, he’s got a sharp bite!
Here are two more examples - The Sinister Spoon and the one we made in class together, The Suspicious Spider Plant!
Please ask your grown-up to help you take a picture of your villain and send it to andrew.johnson@school360.co.uk by Friday 30th September. You can either add your writing to your photo, type it into the e-mail or bring it in on some paper. We’ll be using our villains as inspiration for some of our writing in class! 
 
Note for parents: I've also sent a paper copy of the homework home this week until we get into the routine!
 
Have fun!
