Please see below for this week’s homework, diary dates and some ideas for the holidays.

Spelling and Mental Maths

If you wish you may spend a little time each day on Sumdog, Education City or Hit the Button as there is no formal homework this week.

Play The Daily 10: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10    An adult can help you find your level. You will need something to write your answers on.

Cylinders (and Pyramids) can recite the 2x 3x (and 4x, 5x and 10x) tables too.

Reading

No formal homework this week so you may wish to…

• swap your newspaper for a different copy of FirstNews
• read/listen to your book from Giffnock Library
• update your Reading Passport
• read a book about spring or Easter: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Spring/WhatIsSpring.aspx?age=ks2
• read and make a springtime recipe: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/fun-easter-projects-kids
• read and make a spring art project: https://handsonaswegrow.com/spring-art-projects-for-kids/
• See how far your book can travel during the holidays. Where will your reading take you? Perhaps you could take some photos of you reading in new places to share after the holidays.

Sciences

Inspired by visits from Bethany’s and Zoe’s mums, we would like you to draw and name your own amazing, wonderful, crazy scientist on the piece of A5 paper provided. You can hand this in after the holidays.

You might want to try some experiments with everyday items. Look here:
