Hi everyone and happy 2nd of December. I hope we are all getting wrapped up warm because it looks like it could be a cold one this year. Here is the homework for this week. Any problems let me know.
Numeracy:
Each child has been set a Sumdog task to be completed by Friday. They should all know their logins but if not I can find out for them. If you have any problems with internet access please let me know.
Literacy:
This week the children are to pick an article of their choice from the CBBC Newsround website. I have provided a link to this below.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround
The children are to take notes in any way they choose (bullet points, list, mind map, doodles and words) and then summarise the article in their own words. This is to be done in their literacy jotter.
The children are also to select 5 words they don’t know or 5 unusual words from the article. With these words they are to use context clues to clarify the meaning. This is something we have been practicing in class. I have listed the techniques known by the children below for them to refer to.
- Reading Back
- Rereading
- Reading On
- Context and Picture Clues
- Make Connections
