Hi, we are class 4W from Hawes Side Primary School in Blackpool.
We started our learning logs in September. Here are some examples of things we have done for our creative homework.
We have been finding out about the Romans.
We have enjoyed finding out about numbers.

These are learning logs from my P6 class in Scotland. We are, Mrs McKeegan and P6, at Kilmacolm Primary School in Inverclyde.
My class have just started these after the October holiday and I am delighted! We have been working on literacy outcomes including exploring characters and finding out about the use of punctuation in everyday life. The results have been spectacular with new games, posters and even passports being created! All of the parents are amazed at the children's enthusiasm and can't believe that they actually want to do more homework.
I am so proud of my class and I know that they would be delighted to see their hard work online.

I am sending you some examples of our interpretation of Learning Logs from my Year 6 class.
The children have really enjoyed doing them and keep asking when they will be doing the next one.
Their enthusiasm is a joy!
I have many more if you are interested.

Looking at the TES forums at the end of last year and over the holidays, I came across the Learning Logs as a means of being creative with homework. Wanting to do something different with our children to encourage them and develop their research skills while tackling problems in ways they would understand, I persuaded my 2 colleagues in Yr 3 to have a go.
Our school is about 87% EAL now with many of the parents / carers being non-English speakers. We decided that for at least the first half term, we would set the LO but show the children various ways of setting out the pages. We give out the homework and discuss it on a Friday and it is returned on Wednesday giving us a couple of days to share each others work.
These are examples of what we have done so far:
We've found out about our class mascots - Eagles, Lions and Badgers (based on Hogwarts Houses.)
Maths –
Write and illustrate a number story with the answer 20 (10 For LA).
Buying Lunches (different every day) to the value of 20p or 50p.
Literacy –
We looked at Roald Dahl for Book Week so we asked them to find out some facts about this famous Author.
Settings – gave them some pictures ( shown in colour on the IWB) and asked them to come up with some WOW words – adjectives to describe the settings.
Had Parents Evening just before half term and ALL those present liked the idea. The HT has suggested that we put it on the agenda for one of the SMT meetings in looking at the possibility of introducing it to the KS1 children.

OK! Here goes!
I became interested in the thread about Learning Logs on TES during the summer holidays. I was VERY interested in finding a way to make homework more creative and to move away from the worksheet treadmill.
I told my Headteacher about it and he gave the go ahead to trial it in my class.
I have a class of 34 mixed Year 3 and 4 children and most have taken to this new way of presenting their homework and showing what they have learned. One or two have to be nagged to bring their Log back on time but all have done at least some of the tasks set.
Logs go home on a Friday after we have talked about the objective in class. They are returned for the following Thursday and we share them in school so that all children see a range of ways of presenting their work. Children also do spelling, tables and reading homework during the week and, for this reason, I have limited the Log task to only one objective but I make suggestions of different ways that they can tackle it. Some will just go for one way, others may do all.
The first task we did which was to find three-digit numbers in the environment, record and partition them.
4a, 4b and 4c on the purple background are one child's work. She extends the page out sideways every week
and does a huge amount of work!
Second task was based on Science work around Characteristics of materials. Identify uses of some common materials and give reasons why the material is suitable. Again 1a, 1b, 1c on orange background from one child.
Objective was to recognise and use a range of punctuation - be a punctuation detective. I gave them a copy of the punctuation pyramid as well.
1a, 1b, 1c, from one Log (not same child as the other science and partitioning sets)
I think this one has been my favourite so far.I was blown away by the variety and quality of the responses.
Objective was to know multiplication facts for 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
Task was to make up a way to remember them.
Some of the games made were fantastic! We have some of them on our maths shelves now and the children ask to use them in Golden Time!

We have been working so hard (well done 4C!) and have some more learning logs to share with you all.
Thank you, Miss Clarke 29.10.07
Hi,
I would like to share with everyone the wonderful work my year 4 class have been doing in their learning logs. This is something we have only just started at Eagley Juniors and we have had some fantastic responses from the children during our Viking topic.
Well done to everyone!

At South Failsworth Primary School, Year 5 children have been using learning logs for their homework with great success!
The children have been extremely enthusiastic about this new way of working at home and have produced some fantastic work.

Here are images of the first pieces of work from our learning logs.
The children designed their own front cover very creatively. This was a great introduction to the homework as they were immediately enthusiastic about the book they did their homework in, and that is before they even had their task! I have attached photos of lots of different examples as it stretches across the age range since we are a one teacher school.
 
 
 
This week the task for Primary 4-7 was to
Design a survival box no bigger than 2 shoe boxes. What would they put in it and why?
Primary 1 -3 had to choose 8 items to save.
Again, the children put in a lot of effort and some even made the box!
I am really impressed with all the children's work.

I introduced the learning logs to my Year 3 and 4 class last week and I was very impressed with their response. They were so enthused and the parents' response was equally positive! I know they'll be happy to see their work on the web as they tried really hard.
Many Thanks

Hi. I promised I would send photos of some very early logs and here they are! My Y6 class have done them as homework for just 2 weeks.

These are learning logs from my P7 class up here in Scotland. We are, Mrs Sands and P7S at Crieff Primary School in Perthshire.
This was the children's first attempt and I'm delighted.
Using regular sized blank jotters as that's all we had and I wanted to get started. Not ideal and will move onto bigger ones when I can get the ok to order.
The children's enthusiasm is amazing. Task this week was to report back on an item of current affairs. I've had video clips of them dressed as newsreaders and dramatisations in the classroom.
Fantastic!
