Apologies for the late posting of homework, however, the children were given a tables sheet and food labelling sheet they could’ve been working on.

Literacy

I can use apostrophes to show contractions.

Task: Contract the words that are underlined. Rewrite the poem in your jotter with the contractions in place

I would have said “I told you so”,

But you would not have listened to me.

You did not give a fiddle that someone might have caught you doing, what we all know you did.

Do not blame me that you have no tea,

You should have thought of that before.

“You will go to your room and stay there until you learn!”

“It is not fair!”

You may well despair as your tummy rumbles.

He who does not grumble is humble instead.

But that is not you so you are off to bed.

Very shortly,

Down the stairs he will come.

Glum.

It is a shame.

We have forgiven.

She will always give you a second chance.

She is our mum.

Maths

Many children still need to spend time learning their tables.  It would be helpful if the child could have their times tables “at their fingertips”.  The times tables help the children in so many areas of maths.

Complete the table sheet to identify the tables you know and the ones you need to work on.  This sheet needs to be returned as part of your homework. This Friday (16th March) we will be having table test.  Here are some ideas to help your child learn their tables:

TGT (Team Game Tournament) children can make the cards at home.

Chant/Sing/Write the tables out

Science Looking at food labels

Most packaged foods are labelled with the amounts of different nutrients in them. This can help us to choose a healthy diet. Have a look at home to see which of these foods you have. Look at the nutritional information on the packets and fill in the table with the amount of each nutrient per 100g of product. (Use the sheet given to you by Mrs Pollock).  Then answer the questions on the back of your sheet.
