This week we are going to work on some problems that involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Calculate the answers to these questions in your jotter.
The table below shows how much money four young children raised for charity by holding a virtual stay-awake sleepover.

| Family | £8.57 | £8.75 | £14.38 |
£7.10 |
| Others | £0.89 | £3.17 | £1.67 |
£0.12 |
a) How much did each child raise individually?
b) Who raised the most?
c) Who raised the least?
d) By how much more is the highest total larger than the second highest?
e) Find the difference between how much Dawn raised from her family and from ‘others’.
Remember, decimals make no difference to how you add, subtract, multiply or divide you only have to remember to keep the decimal points above one another, in a straight line.
This is not how we would write out sums to find the answer so don’t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.
I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:

This week for spelling we’re looking at a spelling rule. The rule is, “Silent E for V and U”
To avoid words ending in a ‘v’ or a ‘u’ a silent ‘e’ is often added.
Here are a list of words which follow this rule. Write them into your jotter and practise them this week in any way you choose.
give, love, have, live, carve, blue, due. true, glue, clue, twelve, forgive
There are some words that do end in ‘u.’ Can you make a list of them? I’ll give you a clue, we borrowed most of them from French.
Here are the answers to yesterday’s comprehension exercises
I’ve assigned you some reading in Scholastic Books.
Here are three new comprehension exercises for today. You can choose to do as many of them as you wish.
I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
May is the month of Mary.
There are several popular prayers which call upon Mary to intercede for us. Find one and write it out. Illustrate your prayer in the flowers associated with Our Lady.
Time for a Wednesday workout
Remember you can still choose another task from your updated learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.
You can email me any of your work at:
