Spelling
In the next few weeks in spelling we will be focusing on irregular plural forms of plurals. This week we will look at words which end in ‘f’. The rule is the ‘f’ is removed and ‘ves’ is then added to the end of the word.
e.g. leaf- leaves
There are some exceptions though, like words which end with a ‘ff’, which just have a ‘s’ added on.
e.g. cliff- cliffs
Core words:
elf-elves
leaf- leaves
knife- knives
cliff- cliffs
bluff- bluffs
sniff- sniffs
Mild words
loaf- loaves
self- selves
shelf- shelves
cuff- cuffs
Hot words
dwarf- dwarves
yourself- yourselves
roof- roofs
wife- wives
Maths and Numeracy
This week in numeracy the focus will be on money. Learners should choose five items they would like to buy. This could be anything from a pencil case to a new games console. They should choose three different retailers and show the price from them then underline which one they would buy from.
Children should be wary of hidden costs or savings associated with different buying options i.e. money off, delivery costs etc.
Learning Across the Curriculum
Choose one character from the Spiderwick Chronicles or Matilda and create a character fact file. Your fact file should include, their name, a picture of them and at least five facts.
