Good morning! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and you are all well rested and ready for a new week! 💪🏼
Why don’t you set yourself a personal goal this week. Could you make your bed every day? Or complete 5 laps of your garden? Read at least 6 pages of your book each day or do a different drawing every day?
Literacy:
Today we will be practising our spelling!
Monday 4th May
Spelling
I can practise my -tion endings.
Warm Up:
Write the numbers 1-9 in your jotter. Then, match the pictures to a key word from the box.
Main Task:
A: Separate the words in the box into 4 groups; words that rhyme with function, words that rhyme with section, words that rhyme with attraction and words that rhyme with suction. (Don’t panic that one group is much larger than the other three, it is meant to be).
| function | section | attraction | suction |
B: Write a sentence using one word from each group.
Extension:
A: Make the abstract noun from the given verb. For example:
- relate – relation
Top Tip: Note that the final e is dropped before the -tion is added.
B: Write the verbs that are related to the abstract nouns. For example:
- composition – compose
The last three are really tricky – even I had to look them up to double check!
Last week I created a Sumdog spelling challenge for you all. Four of you managed to complete it so a big well done to YS, RA, ZM and MM!
This week I have instead created a grammar challenge for you all!

Activity 1: Ordering Negative Numbers
Put the following lists of numbers from smallest to largest, use the number line to help you.
Top Tip: Remember that the more negative a number is, the smaller it is. In other words, -7 is smaller than -5 and -4 is bigger than -6. Zero is larger than any negative number.
