My DS broke up from school last Friday and brought home some homework. He has to fill a takeaway style tub with non perishable objects beginning with "O". I have had a total mind blank all week. He is back on Monday and this blardy box needs filling. HELP, I need some mumsnet inspiration Smile

Yeh, homework from preschool. He is 4 soon, is this not normal? He had to make a Christmas collage over the last school holidays.

Homework from pre school???Shock I've never heard of such a thing. DS doesn't get any, think I'd object if he did.

organza
olive stone
order form

In would object too, he's got enough us of homework to come. Can't he just do some playing!

Lego blocks are oblong.

Is there some point to this stupid homework?

ChristmasJubilee · 15/02/2013 16:16

Opal fruits, are they non perishable? I can't believe they have homework at 3!

My niece's preschool did something similar as a sponsored activity. Thankfully we only had to jam as many specific coloured objects in as possible. After the first one we got much more devious better. Pictures sounds like a great idea.

But filling a box with pictures you're going to need hundreds! Grin

Since he is only 3, they are probably looking for the sound 'o', not the letter 'o'. So yes to orange crayon, octonaught and olive, no to onions and oil.
