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 solving word problems involving
measure and money. 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.
Science:
In Science we have been
investigating habitats. For your homework this week we would like you to find
out about bees’ habitats and try to answer the questions. There is a link to a
website on your class blog to help you to get started. Read the information
carefully and do some further research of your own if you can, then answer the
questions below on the blog. Remember to answer in full sentences and read your
work carefully before you post.
What is happening to the
bees?
Why are they so
important?
How can we help them?
What could we put in our
garden to encourage more bees?
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.

As bees visit plants seeking food, pollen catches on their bodies and passes betweenplants, fertilising them – that's pollination.
