Numeracy
We have been using our maths skills to calculate best value and cost in class. We applied the skills we previously learned to help us with our Micro Tyco project.
Ideas for further practise at home:
- Can you create an item you would like to sell? Include its name and who you think would buy it. (You do not need to create a physical product, ideas and drawings are enough.)
- Research the cost of producing your product, making sure to include all of the components and find the best value.
- Determine an appropriate price for your item. Remember you can amend your price if you feel it needs to change.

Literacy
Spelling: Suffix ___less – We have been learning about the suffix ‘less’ that is added to the end of words. E.g. motionless
Summarising: We have been developing the work we completed last term by using our paraphrasing skills to help us summarise accurately. Remember it’s important to use your own words!
Grammar: We have been learning how to use a possessive apostrophe with plurals.
Ideas for further practise at home:
- Create a word search using only words with the suffix ‘less’.
- Using a magazine or newspaper that you have read write a summary of the information you found. You can bullet-point the main ideas as you’re reading to help you remember.

Micro Tyco – Advertising
We have been preparing for Micro Tyco’s final event which will take place this week. We will have a pop-up shop and need some posters for advertising! The shop will run during playtime ever day and – weather permitting – in the playground at 2:45pm.
Can you create an eye-catching poster to help advertise our shop? Remember to include all of the important details!
