Literacy
This week for spelling, we have been looking at the homophones:
they’re, there and their.
Remember homophones sound the same but look different because they are spelt different.
We are going to investigate this set of homophones: their there they’re
Write five sentences containing each word. Their is a possessive, it means ‘belonging to them’. For example: Their chairs were in the hall. 1………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I can recall my number bonds quickly and accurately and can use multiples of 10 and 100 to create new facts
Write a guide
Ask children to write a short guide to help younger children to understand how to find totals and differences of multiples of 10 and 100 using facts already known,
e.g. how to work out 150 – 80, 700 + 1600 or 2500 –1800.
