Dear All
Please see above link for Home Learning for next week.
Spelling sounds are ‘oa’, ‘ow’, ‘oi’, and ‘oy’. Most children should be able to learn all the words with these sounds. If this is too many for your child please choose 2 columns only, either the ‘oa’ and ‘ow’ or the ‘oi’ and ‘oy’ as these sounds can be confused.
Numeracy learning is fractions and division to see the link between these and use in practical situations.
Some children found fractions tricky in class if there was more than a whole. They should work out the whole first, then work out the fraction for the remainder. e.g. if there was a circle divided into 12 parts all shaded and another circle divided into 12 part with only 1 shaded some mistakenly put answer as 13/24 instead of 1 and 1/12.
They are also learning to write fraction in the simplest form e.g. 1/2 not 2/4 although they need to read the question carefully.
They have been shown in class how to use an imperfect fraction e.g. 3/2 instead of 1 and 1/2 but this is not a focus at the moment.
Have a good weekend.
Kind Regards
Louise
