Welcome to Room 5’s Homework Blog

This week Spelling, Reading, Numeracy and I.D.L. homework has been issued.

Spelling

Please try to practise cvc words/phoneme words/common words each night using a multi-sensory activity in preparation for a quiz in class on a Friday.  Multi-sensory ideas could include: making the words using play dough, painting the words, writing the words in a sand tray or on a whiteboard/chalkboard, as well as, writing the words on a computer then changing the font/size, writing the words using fancy letters or with eyes shut.  The words could even be written using the hand not normally used for writing.  Can you think of any new multi-sensory activities to try?  These jobs do not have to be returned to school.

Blue Group:

Please complete page 1 of the CVC  Booklet and return to school on Friday.

Words for the Green Group:

Consolidation week for “ue”, “aw” and “oi” phonemes and common words.  Please practise: glue, clue, crawl, awful, moist, toilet, other, very, there, their, some

Words for the Red Group:

comb, lamb, climb, crumb, dumb, green, people, which, another

Words for the Yellow Group:

Same as the Red Group.  In addition, think of at least two words of your own which have the “mb” phoneme.  Write them down on both post-its given out in school on Monday.  Are the words spelled correctly?  Keep one post-it at home and bring the other into school to allow practice to be done in class too.

Challenge Activity – Try writing a sentence for each word. Remember to use V.C.O.P. (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation).

Please complete the Addition worksheet and return it to school on Friday.

I.D.L.

As you are aware the children have been working hard on our inter-disciplinary  topic World War One.  As part of this, I would like them to design and build a simple 3-d model of a tank.  As we are an Eco School, children should try to use recycled materials in the construction of their model.  All model tanks should be brought to school by Wednesday 1st April, in preparation for sharing their learning with others.  Many thanks for your support with this task.
