Welcome back to another exciting week of learning at home!
Literacy
- Spelling words for this week are en and on endings, with some handy hints for how to decide which ending it might be! If you can, type out the words 3 times and change the fonts. If you want to text the words, then send them to a friend and they can check whether you typed them correctly!
2. Date and I can identify the correct en and on word endings.
Follow the instructions and answer any questions – this is an important part of your learning!
Handy hint
- if you are not sure of an ending – does it look correct?
- where can you check? https://www.collinsdictionary.com/
- For B1 and B2 look carefully at your lists and use your skills to work out the answers
3. Traffic light and comment on your understanding of how to work out on and en word endings.
4. Let’s finish with an interactive quiz using on and en endings.

EPIC READING
I have included the link to the June calendar, which has some great ideas for learning with ideas from the Epic resources. It would be a great way to help you work your way up the levels! Today is Best Friends’ Day – why not share a book recommendation with them?

Numeracy
- Let’s start off by getting onto Sumdog for at least 10 minutes and taking part in the NLC competition which finishes on 11th June. It is accuracy that is important, so make sure that your answers are correct, not fast!
- Today’s place value focus is estimating which has links to rounding that we have already practised.
This link reminds you how to estimate logically where numbers would be put on a number line.
This poster does the same thing – use what you know to solve problems.
Handy hint
- Use a strip of paper the same size as the line and fold it into half and quarters to help you think about the numbers logically
Write the date and I can estimate numbers logically
Follow the instructions and make sure that you write the correct distance sign -cm, m, km for the answers.
3. Traffic light and comment on your estimating skills. Could you explain your answers to question 4 to an adult?
4. This quest helps you to revise estimation of distances.
