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:

1. 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.
2. If you haven’t already done so, please remember to cover all your homework jotters.
3. 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

Good morning everyone! Another weekend is nearly over. I hope you have had a lovely time. Keep reading for a rundown of our homework and reminders for this week.

Spelling:  Units 25 and 32 should be completed this week. You should continue to copy each word out three times in your spelling jotter. You should then write an uplevelled sentence (remembering to use interesting VCOP) for the six spelling rule words. I have been very impressed with the openers being used in your sentences these last few weeks. Well done! I would also like you to consider how you could include some more ambitious connectives alongside these openers. This will make your sentences even more interesting!

This task should be completed by Friday.

Reading:  Please read chapters 9 and 10 of our class novel: The Borrowers. There is no written homework to be completed for this as it will be done in class. However, please remember if you do not complete the reading you will be unable to participate in the class lesson. All reading should be completed for Thursday.

As discussed in class, if you come across any vocabulary that you are unsure of the definition, please use a dictionary to find this out. You may also take a note of it in your Book Detectives jotter (remember to take a note of the page number) and we can discuss it in class.

Personal Reading Challenge: We now have 9 weeks (single figures) of reading left. You have set yourself a personal target based on the number of books read last term and the aim is to reach it (or beat it!) before the end of term. Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC sessions.

Please remember to record the books in your reading passport as you finish them. The passport is kept in class.

Maths: Please click the link below for your maths homework. This task should be completed in your maths homework jotter.  You should return this task by Friday.
