Literacy Homework 

Children need to learn their spellings. There will continue to be a spelling test on a Friday however they all know that they can decide how they would like to learn these words. We have used many different activities in class and for homework over the last two terms, so children should be familiar with activities to use. If they are unsure, they can choose from this list:

  • Blue Vowels
  • Vowel Circle
  • Rainbow Write
  • Elkonin Boxes
  • Diacritical Marking

Or look back on previous homework posts, ask in class or use

Numeracy-Area 18.04.19

We were learning how to calculate the area of a shape on 1cm squared paper. We were using the formula LxB which means Length by Breadth so if the length is 3cm, and the breadth is 2cm, we times them together to get 6cm squared to be the area. We found this easy to do so we tried a challenge of creating shapes for a certain area. 

The pictures below were of an even bigger challenge. In this challenge we had to create a shape using 7&1/2cm squared for the area. Some of us were VERY creative indeed!!!!
