Bonjour la classe, and welcome to Wednesday!
Update on Sumdog. Maths competition PM -5th place, LI – 8th place and LF – 9th place. Well done and keep going!
Spelling challenge – Well done to LI, S Ma, ML and AD for taking part in the challenge. It is still open today for those still to take part.
Literacy
Keep practising your spelling words in whichever way suits you. Sometimes just writing them out carefully 3 times, can help you to visualise the words.
Your focus for today is adverbs. We have learnt about and used adverbs to let us know more about a verb e.g. she painted the picture carefully. How did she paint the picture? She painted it carefully.
This link explains some of the ways that adverbs are used in more detail and will help you with your follow up tasks.
You will notice that these adverbs link to some of the spelling rules that you have been practising – remember that the skill of making links is so useful to your learning and understanding.
Please write the date and I can identify different types of adverbs. Read the information given to you and look at the examples given. Follow the instructions and remember that a verb is an action word ( can you do it or can it be done by something? ).
Draw a chart neatly into your jotter and write the headings. Then identify which type of adverb the words are and write them under the correct heading.
Have you checked your punctuation? Do the sentences make sense? You will need to use capital letters, full stops, commas and an apostrophe, for the meaning to be clear.
There’s a grammar assessment on Sumdog which covers skills that you have been practising recently, so give it a go!
Number
Here’s your numeracy brain work – out to wake up those strategies!
Thinking about the double and near double strategy that we used for addition yesterday, this task helps you to think about the strategy but this time for subtraction.
Please write the date, I can subtract using doubles, near doubles and adjusting.
Self assess by traffic lighting and commenting on your learning.
As a finishing task, these games will help you to practise using doubles and/or take part in the Sumdog addition and subtraction competition.

Take a look at the Meaningful May Action Calendar that Mr Green posted on the school blog. Today it says ” Take a step towards one of your life goals, however small.”
I am so proud of you and I hope that you are proud of yourselves for all the steps you are taking to make progress and achieve success while you are learning at home.
Here are the links to Mrs McMillan’s “Take a Moment” relaxation techniques, if you haven’t already seen them. A new one will be on the school blog tomorrow.
