Hello everyone,
Thanks for your continued support with the homework, it is much appreciated! If your child brings spelling words home on a piece of scrap paper, then this means that they have not returned their homework jotter to school. Please assist them in finding their jotter at home, then either stick the words in or copy them down.
This week our spelling pattern is words ending in -ge. Our focus words are:
binge, cringe, fringe, gorge, forge, huge, bulge, lunge, plunge, sponge.
In class we also thought of hinge, orange and George!
There were a few questions from the children about the meanings of some of these words. Please can adults assist them to look up the definition in the dictionary or online at home, if needed 🙂
Please choose 2 spelling activities from the grid below:
In maths we are practising subtraction.
Please choose a mild, spicy or hot subtraction task and complete in homework jotter. Although the questions are written in “chimney” sums, you can use other strategies to solve :
Mild:
Spicy:
Hot:
Finally, this term’s “big homework” is to create and practise a presentation about “celebrations and food”. This is due the week after the Christmas holidays. I do not expect children to be working over the holidays (and I won’t be either!) so they have the 5 weeks between now and the end of term to prepare for this.
I have also printed a copy of this for the children to take home, if that’s easier.
