Out of School Learning
There are many ways to support learning out of school hours.
Along with other Stepney Partnership schools, Smithy Street asks pupils to complete family homework during school holidays.
Each holiday a new theme is used to provide activities for pupils and their families to complete together and bring into school at the start of the half term. The amazing work produced is shared in class and at school and phase assemblies. Our 2019 Christmas holiday family homework topic is on Explorers
May Half Term Holiday family homework project on Saving the Planet
First Place: Nushrat 5L
This has come first because it shows many problems in one piece of family homework. This piece of work could teach you many things that you didn’t know existed. The colour choice in this is very vibrant and eye-catching. It is very creative as she has put many things in one. This is also a warning to us about our future. She has spent a lot of time making this excellent piece of family homework. This family homework was photographed and reviewed by Saif and Iqra. 
Second Place: Akif RN
This hand is made by Akif. He used cardboard to make the hand and he used a coke can to make it look like someone’s picking up rubbish. We picked this because it really looks good and it’s from Avengers. This family homework was photographed and reviewed by Fabeha. 
Third Place: Khadija 4B
This family homework has come in 3rd place because it is very creative. Khadijah (4B) has really thought about what makes a better world. She has really thought about how to interact with the class through creativity. Khadijah made frames out of cardboard and painted it dark and light green. She used a plastic wallet and stuck it into one of the frames. She made litter out of paper and stuck onto the frames. For the other frame, she made paper flowers and a building and stuck it onto the second frame. This represents a nice clean world. If you add the first frame, it looks as if the world is dirty, but if you take it out then it looks clean. This family homework was photographed and reviewed by Myra and Yaseera.

It was made by Hafsa in RN class. She used a lot of cardboard and a lot of time making it. She used different coloured paper to decorate it. She first got some pictures and coloured it and stuck it in. It’s telling us about Eid at the bottom. The family homework shows us the order of how to pray and celebrate Eid. We liked it because she coloured it in nicely and it has a lot of detail. We liked the moon part because it’s stuck with beads. We liked the rainbow tree and how they stuck it on with sellotape.
