Spelling
This week we have started looking at vocabulary building., using affixes. Affixes are prefixes and suffixes. Prefixes and suffixes change the meaning of words by adding letters to the beginning or end of words.
A prefix is added to the beginning of words – dis + comfort = discomfort. (dis is the prefix.)
A suffix is added to the end of words – hope + ful = hopeful (ful is the suffix)
This week we are learning the prefixes pre- (meaning before) and multi- (meaning many)
Neptune’s words:
| Pre- | Multi- |
| prevent | multiply |
| prefix | multigym |
| prepare | multiple |
| prebook | multitask |
| preplan | multigrain |
Saturn’s Words:
| Pre- | Multi- |
| precise | multiplication |
| prequel | multicoloured |
| premier | multidimensional |
| preview | multilayered |
| prewrap | multimedia |
| preempt | multimillionaire |
| prevail | multinational |
| prevent | multivitamin |
| prework | multitasking |
| presume | multipurpose |
Pick at least 3 of the words and discuss what you think they mean, based on the meaning of the prefix, and how it changes the meaning of the word when added on. You can record these meanings in your jotter. Use a dictionary to help or check the meanings.
Maths
We have been doubling and halving and finding near doubles and halves and adjusting the answer, to help us with addition and subtraction calculations.
Complete your given worksheet, either on the sheet or in your jotter.
Continue to spend time on Sumdog, Active Learn and Hit the Button to improve your maths skills. Hit the Button has a great doubling and Halving game.
Health and Wellbeing
We have been learning a lot about how to have healthier lifestyles and a good balance of food groups in the meals we eat. You have all been given a healthy eating booklet to help with this – ‘Eat Like a Champ Passport’. Your homework this week is to complete Task One – Eat Well Family Healthy Eating Report, with a chosen adult at home.
