Literacy-This week you designed your own setting using Sumopaint. This weekend think about your imaginary story. How many settings will you need? Where will your main character live? How do they travel? Where will they visit? You could use the Internet to find new settings. Challenge yourself to draw and describe your own settings. You could use Purple Mash, Sumopaint or draw them in your GTGL book. Remember to describe them in sentences too.
Phonics– Remember to read 10 minutes every day. This weekend ask your family to challenge you to read and write all the red words. How many do you know? Use lots of different phonic books to really challenge yourself.
Numeracy – Next week we are recapping the four operations. We are going to be practising column addition, subtraction, the grid method and the chunking method. This weekend challenge yourself to practise these methods. Remember the more you practise the higher the challenge you can pick. Ask your family to write you some questions like these:
234 + 569 = 382- 146= 15 x 18= 84 divided by 4=
Remember to use Mathletics to complete your homework.
