English: Again this is on LBQ this week. The class have a session to complete on converting simple past tense verbs into the present perfect tense. (This is less complicated than it sounds!) It will really help the class with their newspaper report writing as this is a tense that is used quite frequently in this type of writing.
Homework WC: 14.06.24
Maths: We have been looking at telling the time this week in class and I firmly believe that the best way for children to learn how to tell the time is for them to be practising it consistently. So there homework this week is to simply be asked what the time is, whenever and wherever (obviously they will need a clock/watch to refer to!) We have been focussing on analogue clocks rather than digital and are moving onto this next week, but the class are very good with their Roman numerals now so they can also read these on a clock!
English: Please log onto LBQ there will be one grammar activity and one spelling activity.
As always keep practising times tables and reading!
Homework 7.6.24:
We have been focussing on the split diagraph i_e in spelling this week. There is a document attached below to support the class' work on this for words that contain the diagraph but make the short vowel sound.
There are 2 LBQ tasks set for Maths this week to link with our new unit on telling the time.
There is a youtube video linked below based on Roman numerals that the children have learnt this week. The song helps them to practice.
Homework: Wc- 17.5.24
Snglish: Please can you work through the possessive apostrophe questions on the attached document. If you need some help please watch the video linked below:
Maths: This week we have started our work on money. Please could you get coins and notes out and get the children counting amounts of money. The class are good at recognising coins and notes and are becoming more confident in counting up in the denominations of the coins. What we're finding tricky is if we have an amount where there isn't a digit in the tens column how we should write this down, so for example if we have two 50p coins, a 5p coin and a 2p coin this equals £1.07. We need to remember to add that 0 in!
For those that struggle to locate coins please find the attached document with different amounts.
Homework: 10/05/24
Maths: I have set some times table work on Times table Rockstars.

English: An LBQ task on standard inflections. I've noticed recently a lot of non-standard English has been creeping into the class' writing, eg 'I got captured,' instead of 'I was captured'. This task will focus on selecting and using the correct verb forms.
As always there are times table tasks to work on. I've challenged the class to turn the 10 times table green on Times table rockstars as this is currently orange on my class overview and is the reason why they have been asked to practice it in their times table books this week. The class also have a rock battle with Year 4 on Times table rockstars, I have set the time that counts for the results of the battle for after school times.
Homework: 26.04.23

English: There is an activity linked to spelling words with the suffix -ous. Remember that -ous means it is full of the root word, eg. courageous = full of courage.
As always there are still times tables to practise in both the times table book and on Times Table rockstars! Don't forget your reading!
