Cedar Class Homework – Autumn Term (1)

Every fortnight you need to choose a task from the ‘task bank’ below and complete it. This work can either be completed in your homework book or kept in a folder of your own choice to be handed in with your normal homework. Just make sure you write a note in your book so I know what you are up to when I collect in your books.
Good luck and have fun. I look forward to seeing what you create!
