Support/Resources for Optional Homework Tasks

Here are some resources to guide you in the additional homework. Of course, you are free to use your own resources and research but just remember to STOP, BLOCK and TELL if you find anything during your online learning that upsets you or makes you feel uncomfortable.

English

In class, we have explored different versions of the traditional fairy tale ‘The Princess and the Pea‘. If you’re at home, you could re-write the Princess and Pea story with a different ending. Or if you would like to try a different stimulus, why not try writing an alternative ending for the Little Red Riding Hood!
