Please continue with the literacy grid for your homework words or simply write your words 3 times and write a sentence for each one.

Homework 28th April

Continue with the literacy grid for your homework words or simply write your words 3 times and write a sentence for each one. Really focus on handwriting please. Make sure your letters are formed correctly, you might want to try joining a few letters together as that is what we have been doing in handwriting in class.

Fractions, Multiplying and Dividing are still our focus in Maths just now. We will also be looking at shape.

How well do you know your times tables? Ask someone in your family to challenge you – can you answer all the questions correctly?

Here are some games to help you learn your facts –

Don’t forget your Bug Club account. We are really trying hard to improve our fluency in reading, add expression and pause when we see commas or full stops.

Homework 24th March

Continue with the grid. We will change this after the Easter holiday. We’re hoping you may have tried a few new activities. Remember you can still always do sentences for your words instead, try to include different starter words for your sentences, words like – Sometimes, When, Usually, – experiment with ones of your own. We always look forward to reading through your work.

We have been looking at Clockwise, Anti-clockwise, quarter turns and half turns in class. Try to direct someone in your family using these directions – for example –
