Homework this week consists of:

1.) 10 spelling words to be written (in rainbow colours, newspaper cutouts, in sand with a photo taken etc) three times and three sentences in their homework jotter. You can mix and match the three ways you do it; write one in rainbow colours, cut one set out in newspapers and just type the last one etc – it is up to you!

2.) BugClub Reading Books/Online Bugclub – pages to be read/task will be written on homework marker to do in your homework jotter/Glow Blogs. 

• Finding WOW words – WOW words are words that you might not often use in your writing, or are words that help you visualise more clearly a scene/idea/character in your text when reading.
• Example 1: The word “ecstatic” might be a WOW word because it gives you the image of a more intense and wild feeling of happiness, rather than just saying “happy” which might only give a sense of calm, regular, bog-standard smile on someone’s face.
• Example 2: The word “colossal” might be a WOW word because it really shows that something is big on an incredible scale, whereas the word “big” may only suggest a couple of metres.

3.) Maths: Beat that challenge! Try your best! Do working on the back of the sheet if you need to. Try a new strategy! Please try the questions yourself – give your parents/guardians a break. If you’re not sure, come and ask me. Just make sure you don’t do it the day before the due date!!!!

P.s. Use your homework guidance sheets to help you. It’s what they are there for.  They are like cheat sheets!
