Homework w/b: 15.1.18

Literacy – Spelling

There are no specific set spelling words this week.  Instead we will each be focusing on words we personally and continually spell wrong in our written class work, so each pupil’s list may look very different.  At home, if there are any words you know you spell wrong (or if you are the parent/carer reading this, that you know your child spells wrong) then please practise them at home, as this will improve general spelling within the class.

Below are some websites which might give you inspiration for words to practise:

Maths

We have been learning to solve addition and subtraction word problems in maths.  This is a tricky task as we have to work out the important information being asked for and which operation to use (+ or -).  Sometimes we need to use both to solve the one problem.

Please solve the problems on your given maths homework sheet.  You can cut out the problems and stick them in your jotter before solving them.

Remember to use the acronym RUDSS or RUDESCS to help you with the steps.
