Together, Sophie and Lauren had £ Sophie had £6.60 more than Lauren. How much did Lauren have?
HINT We know that, if Sophie did not have the £6.60 extra, both girls would have the same.

11. Reading Please listen to your child read as often as you can.
Ask them questions
- Directly from the text (key points)
- Inference questions (how does the character feel? How do you know?)
We are focusing on PEEL
Point (state your point)
Evidence (where is the evidence)
Explain (this means that…)
Link (Earlier in the book, I know that)

12. Writing They need to always plan what they are going to write.
Think about using a range of openers (using fronted adverbials, putting dependent clauses at the beginning of a sentence)
Think about using a range of punctuation (including semi colons, commas, hyphens, brackets)
Think about using a range of conjunctions
Most importantly, they need to edit their writing. Do they have any words missing? Can they use a better word? Conjunction? Spellings!

13. SPAG Spellings – huge! Common misconception spelling bee
SPAG sheet (children need to learn the definitions of all the different types of words)
Weekly grammar homework
Learn it with the children.
