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 at 6 o’clock tonight or you can send me your answers at:

Only a few of you have used Sumdog this week to practise them. Today I would like you to use Sumdog to practise your spelling.
After 19 chapters we are now finished, “How to Train your Dragon.”
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 at 6 o’clock tonight as tomorrow is a holiday.
May is the month of Mary.
Many people have had their life changed through their devotion to Mary. Research someone from history who changed things through their devotion to Our Lady.
For Health and Wellbeing today I would like you to find out about UNICEF an organisation founded by the United Nations.
What is UNICEF and how is it helping children like you all around the world?
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:
