Reading:

Please write in your reading diary when you have read. You will have been allocated a Bug Club book to read at home, which will be different to the one that you are reading in school. Check with your teacher if you are not sure which one is which. Don’t forget to answer the ‘bugs’- look out for them on each page! Please don’t “close” the book until all the bugs have been answered.

Maths (20mins):

This week we have been practising finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes. You have been set work on Mathletics to help you to practise this.

Please also practise your times tables and division facts up to 12x12.

Literacy:

This week we have been reading the book ‘A River’ by Marc Martin. The book has some beautiful illustrations. Next week we will be writing our own version. For your homework, we would like you to design a front cover to go with the writing that you will do in class. Here is the original cover and some of the other illustrations to inspire you!

Spellings (20mins)

These should be practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.

You need to:

 • look at each word

• say the word

• copy the word in first space

• cover the words and try to write it from memory

• check to see if they are right

Over the next few weeks, we will be revising words from the National Curriculum spelling list for Year 3 and 4. As these are words that you all need to know, there will only be one spelling list.
