Reading (every day)
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):
Our topic this week addition and
subtraction especially looking at two step word problems. Maths work will be
posted on Mathletics, if you have any problems accessing this work please speak
to the teacher for a paper copy.
Please also practise your times
tables. This week I need to practise my ___ x tables.
Blog:
For our work next week we will be looking at
the book ‘Flotsam’. In the story some mysterious photographs are found by a boy
on the beach. There are lots of unusual pictures of creatures underwater such
as mechanical fish, an octopus sitting on a sofa and a turtle with a whole city
on its back. As part of our story writing next week, we will
focus on using expanded noun phrases with a preposition. For
your homework, imagine or draw your own underwater scene and then write a
paragraph on the blog describing what’s in the scene that you have created.
Remember to use expanded noun phrases. Choose your adjectives
carefully-try to use some that nobody else will use!
Minimum 100 words.
