Homework this week!

acopemanpapas

Do you remember when we asked you to submit potential names for all of our houses before the holidays? Well, now the time has come to put your suggestions to use!

Firstly, we’d like to thank everybody across the Federation for submitting such brilliant and thoughtful suggestions, there are some really inspirational people among these names.

Now, we’ve spent weeks poring over the many many submissions you have all made, and we’ve had to whittle down the list by only choosing the most popular suggestions. We’ve also taken out any of our previous house names, as we think it’s time for a change.

So onto this week’s homework! Below, you’ll see a list of five names for each house colour (red, green, blue and yellow). Your homework this week will be to research the person who you know least about in your own house’s list.

For example, if I was in the red house, and I know lots and lots about Martin Luther King Jr, but not too much about Emmeline Pankhurst, I would do my homework on Emmeline Pankhurst.

The key is to find as many interesting facts about that person as possible. One for Emmeline Pankhurst might be that she was arrested over seven times whilst campaigning for women’s rights.

Once you’ve got all of the information, we will be setting up a poll on the blog so you can vote for your favourites! Look out for this next week!

We’ve added a link to some information about each person to get your started…

  4. I think for the red house a good name could be the flash team because we are very fast.

  6. I think red should be called Ronald’s because he is the best footballer in the word.

  8. I think Helen Sharman would be good for yellow house because she spent 18 years in flight training and she is patient and spent a long time there and sounds very nice.

  11. I think Rosa Parks should be the name for red team because she stood up for dark skin people and tried to stop people being raisit to dark skin people she a very good person for doing that .

  15. I think alan turing should be the yellow house example because he made the first computer

  16. Reblogged this on 2014/15 Moonstone Class and commented:
    Hello Year 2,
    This week is a whole school homework. I can’t wait to see the interesting things you find out about these very influential people!
    Mrs Millican

  17. Aiyana from moonstone year 4 says:

    I think Usain Bolt should represent green group because we are faster than everyone else!
    Martin Luther King should replace Gandhi because he is trying to make the world a better place
    Nightingale should be turned into Alan Turing because he was smart enough to make the first world computer and
    Shakespeare should be turned into Malala because they want to make things better and more fair
    Aiyana from moonstone year 4😝😝

  18. Malala should be red because she wants to make the world a better place
    Yellow should be turned into Martin Luther King because he wants the world to be a better place
    Green should be turned into usain bolt because we are very fast!
    Blue should be Alan Turing because he made the worlds first computer
    Aiyana moonstone year 4

  20. I think that Alan Turing should be yellow team’s name because he must have worked really hard when he was making that computer and I guess he was really clever too!

  22. I think the blue house should be called David Beckham he plays soccer and I like soccer too.

  24. I think Jacqueline Wilson should be the house team name for green because she has written many books and they can teach you good from bad. As the school is trying to get everyone to read more, her books can inspire you in different ways like Tracy beaker she’s a foster kid but can still believe in herself. That is why I voted for Jacqueline Wilson to be our house team name

  28. Helen Sharman would be good for yellow house because she has a star on the Sheffield Walk of Fame. She was awarded the OBE in 1993, and there are several school buildings named after her, both in the UK and in Europe.

  29. Marie Curie should be the name for the Yellow House. She was a famous female scientist in the early 1900.

  30. I would like JK Rowling to be the new name for green house

  32. I think the red team should be named rosa parks
    From milan

  34. i think the red team should be named douglas as in gabbriella douglas because we have great tecniqe in flexibility and we are THE BEST

  35. I think black panthers should be the name of ghandi because they tried to change the writes of black people

  36. Malika’s homework😉😉😉😉🎈

    Jacqueline Wilson was born in Bath in 1945. She spent most of her childhood in Kingston – of – Thames . When she was a teenager she started working on a magazine called Jackie Magazine.She’s a 🌟. After, she started her 1st novel.

    Mrs Wilson also keeps a monthly diary. Here’s a page

    Time to buy some Christmas shopping !

    04 December 2012
    Hi Everyone !

    It’s Jingle Bells time again – and as I type I’m panicking, because I haven’t bought any Christmas presents yet! I wish I could get more organized and avoid this last minute rush. I’m shortly going on a little mini-break in Paris with my daughter Emma, so hopefully I’ll be able to find something lovely for her there. I shall have to give my cat Jacob a little toy this year, instead of a packet of his favourite treats – he’s getting a bit chubby and my vet says he should go on a diet. I know this is sensible, but it’s very hard to confine your cat to two meagre little scoops of low-calorie cat nibbles each day when he loves his meaty fishy wet food with a passion! Perhaps I ought to diet in sympathy. It would probably be very beneficial for me – but I don’t want to miss out on all those Christmas treats!

    I’m going to buy all my Christmas cards and wrapping paper from Battersea Cat and Dog home this year. I’m very proud to say I’ve just been made one of their Ambassadors and shall do my very best to tell everyone what a wonderful organization it is. The trouble is, if I go to the Battersea shop I shall be very tempted to walk round all the kennels and cat cabins to see all the little inmates and then I shall desperately want to take one home with me. I am thinking of rehoming another kitten or maybe even a puppy, but not just yet, when I’m still travelling around a great deal.

    I’ve been especially touched by all your hundreds of emails this month. I do wish it was possible to reply to each and every one of you. I’m so pleased that you’ve all enjoyed Emerald Star. A few of you have got a little irritated with Hetty, and feel she should have settled down with Jem and lived happily ever after – but I think Hetty is too restless and spirited a girl to be a quiet little country wife for the rest of her days. If you’re still fond of her, then you might like to know that Hetty crops up in the brand new book I’m currently writing, but she isn’t centre stage this time!

    Have a very Happy Christmas.

    DONE!😁😲😜😝

Martin was born on January the 15th of 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Martin’s real name was not Martin, It was Michael, he changed his name to Martin.

In 1957 and 1958 he did the “I Have a Dream” speech. At just the age of 35 he was the youngest man to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Sadly, on April 4th, 1968 he was standing in a beautiful balcony of his nice motel room, he was assassinated at just the age of 39.
