<\/p>\n

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you have all had a superb\u00a0October break. We have had quite a bit of sunshine this holiday, hopefully it will continue when we get back to school. Please read on to see you homework and reminders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Spelling<\/strong>: Please complete list s for z<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0aw<\/strong> in your spelling homework jotter.\u00a0 Each word should be written out three times.\u00a0 A creative spelling activity, using ALL\u00a0<\/strong>of your words, should also be completed. This task should be returned to school by\u00a0Thursday. <\/strong>Please remember to practice your words throughout the week,\u00a0NOT\u00a0<\/strong>just when you are completing the task.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personal Reading Challenge<\/strong>: This term we will be completing a\u00a0challenge to help increase the amount of reading you do each week. The challenge will be ongoing for the whole term.\u00a0I will go over the finer details of the challenge with you in class on Monday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0Maths<\/strong>:\u00a0Our maths homework will take a different format this term. \u00a0Most weeks you will have worded problems to complete. These problems will be posted on our class blog (this week they have been posted by Mrs O’Neill). If you are unable to access the blog, please ask for a paper copy of the questions.<\/p>\n

Your answers should be completed, neatly, in your maths homework jotter. I will let you know on Monday (24th) which group you are in so that you know which questions to answer. Please cover your jotter before handing in your homework on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know many of you are enjoying \u00a0accessing the games on Mangahigh. If you wish to, please continue to do so, as practice makes perfect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Art<\/strong>: As part of our Brazil topic we will be looking at a Brazilian artist: Beatriz Milhazes. Next week in class we will be recreating some of her paintings. For homework this week I would like you to access the link below and familiarise yourself with her work. Some of the vocabulary used is a little tricky but please remember if you are unsure of what a word means, please use a dictionary (or ask) to check the definition.<\/p>\n

You should then write a short paragraph (no more than 50 words) about Beatriz and her work. This should be in your own words as much as possible \u2013 DO NOT just copy directly from the text. Let me know your personal thoughts on her paintings. Think about the following questions when writing your paragraph.<\/p>\n
