There will be a change to the spelling format this week.  Instead of having free choice there will set tasks for spelling.  The reason for this is that some children in class are scoring incredibly low in their test.  An acceptable score is no less than 8 and while some children are maintaining that or higher, there are too many consistently scoring lower.  For your ten spelling words, you need to:

write each word out 3 times at the front of your homework jotter -please ensure that you put a date

put a traffic light next to each word using coloured pencil or felt tip in relation to how easy or difficult you find it

choose 5 or more words to include in a sensible paragraph/short story

ask someone at home to test you by asking you to spell each word aloud.  don’t move onto the next word until you have mastered the one you are on  – do this at least once per night

 

For maths, there are 3 games you need to play on Studyladder which will be focusing on mental addition.

If you are interested, then you may want to do a bit of research on Beethoven, the composer of the piece you are currently learning to play on the glockenspiel, ‘Ode to Joy’.
