Task
Your literacy task this week is to create a word search containing at least 4 of your words. Your words can be hidden vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Once you have written it, ask someone to solve it for you. This can be someone in your family, or another member of our class.
Maths
In your jotters, please write out the 3, 6 and 9 times tables. If you can, ask an adult to test you!
For extra multiplication practice, please remember that there are lots of great games on the topmarks website.

Topic
Your auntie has written to ask you to send her suggestions for what to get you for your birthday. Either in a catalogue or on a website (such as Argos), find 3 things that you would like to be given. Your auntie has also asked that you give her an idea of the cost of your presents. However, your auntie lives in Japan, so you will need to calculate how much Japanese Yen she will need to buy the presents. Use a currency converter to do this.
