This is\u00a0not<\/span>\u00a0how we would write out sums to find the answer so don\u2019t write them this way in your jotter. Use place value, carrying and decomposition (borrowing) to find your answers.<\/p>\n I’ll post the answers to these tomorrow or you can send me your answers at:<\/p>\n gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This week for spelling it’s time for a roundup.<\/p>\n Here are some of the spelling words and patterns that we have looked at over the last few weeks.
