TIME
Read daily - It could be a school book or a book of your choice. Try to read a wide range of materials such as information books, poems, stories, reports, recipes, instructions etc. Record your reading in your diary everyday.
Your spellings for this fortnight are to be learnt for a test the week beginning Monday 14th November 2016.
We are following a new spelling scheme, which focusses on the rules of spelling, rather than just learning the words. This means the spelling home learning has changed slightly.
They will have 1 or 2 rules to learn each fortnight with some suggested spellings. However, they may be tested on words not from the suggested spellings but that follow the rule.
To learn the rule, they must complete 2 spelling activities for each rule. The number of spellings you do is up to you. You can do the suggested spellings and you can find your own ones that follow the rule too.
We have explained this to the children in class, but if you do have any questions please ask.
Additional Activities – YOU MUST DO ALL 3 OF THESE ACTIVITIES:
Keep a Moon diary over the course of the Home Learning. Draw the shape of the Moon each night, finding out and recording the correct term for each lunar phase.
Imagine… an alien space ship has crashed landed in your back garden. Write your own story about what happens next. You may want to borrow ideas from space stories or films you know well. Remember to use powerful vocabulary to bring your story (and your alien) to life!
Teach your family the order of the planets in the solar system using your mnemonic. Then test them… Have they remembered correctly? Record your mnemonic in your book using pictures and colour.
