Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a lovely relaxing weekend after a busy week in school. I hope you are looking forward to another busy week when, among other things, we will be starting our new Clyde in the Classroom topic. Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.
Spelling: Please complete list ie for ee or ly in your spelling homework jotter for Thursday. Please continue to write out your spelling words 3 times using SaCaWaC in the same way as we do in class. You should then write a sentence for each of your first 6 spelling words. This week we are concentrating on the V of VCOP – vocabulary, you should have at least one wow word in each sentence. It would be wonderful if you continued to use the other areas of VCOP too, however I will only be focusing on assessing your fabulous vocabulary.
Reading: We are continuing with our novel study – Danny the Champion of the World. As discussed in class there is no formal written homework to be completed for this. However, please remember if you do not complete the reading you will be unable to take part in the class lesson. Please read chapters 9 and 10 for Wednesday 8th February.
If you find there are words that you don’t understand please take a note of them in your Book Detectives jotter (remembering the page number) and, if possible, use a dictionary to find out their meaning . We will start our lesson by discussing them in class. We have been getting some very interesting words to discuss, including ravenous and decarbonizing!
Personal Reading Challenge: As discussed in class this challenge will be ongoing for the whole of this term (9 weeks). I have been really pleased to see so many of you recording your books in your reading passports, keep it up!! Remember it is the quality of the books you read that is important. Please choose carefully to ensure the books you are reading are at the correct level for you – not too easy or too hard. Remember you can bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC time.
Maths: This week Mrs. O’Neill has posted another set of worded problems on your maths homework blog. Please complete these in your maths homework jotter. As always, please read each question carefully. You should ensure you are showing workings AND giving a full sentence answer. This homework is due for Thursday.
A high standard of work is being produced from the majority of you. Well done, keep it up!
Both group 1 and group 2 can find their maths homework here:
As discussed in class there has been a slight dip in some of our Beat That! scores. Please remember to access the Multiplication and Division Trainer for extra practice. You can access it using the links below. Remember Go for Green!

Here are your reminders for this week:
- Due to Recycling Heroes visiting the school P.E. will only be on Tuesday this week. Please ensure you have a P.E. kit in school. Please also remember to have a bottle of water with you as you will be working hard.
- If you haven’t already done so, please remember to cover all your homework jotters.
- If possible, please remember to bring in an old shirt or tee-shirt which is big enough to cover your uniform during our art activities. This can be left in school until the end of term/session if you wish. Also any old newspapers would be great for covering your desk.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
See you tomorrow.
Mrs. Hughes
