My Maths

Tasks were set to do during the holidays - log in to your My Maths account and use some time to make sure you're up to date.  I will be checking at the end of the week and awarding Dojo Points.  If your parent isn't able to access Class Dojo, please email me and I'll resend the information.

English

This week in English we were going to do daily spelling tests of those lists I gave you at the end of term: the Year 3/4 common exception words and the Y5/6 statutory spelling words.  Today, test yourself on the first 50 Year 3/4 spelling words.  To do this you could ask someone to read them to you, or record yourself saying them and then play it back while you test yourself.  If you can email me your scores, that would be AMAZING!  Don't do more than 50, as I might record the test for Wednesday. :)

I've added both documents below, but make sure you test yourself on the Y3/4 words...the first 50.

Reading Comprehension - St Francis of Assisi

This week we were also going to be doing lots of reading activities, including finishing Skellig! Today, choose from the activities below.  The documents contain the text, questions and the answers.  You can write on the sheets if you wish, but these can be done in the back of your spelling journals or in your own notebooks if you have one.  If you want to type your answers and email them, that's okay too!
