Homework 26/11/20
Maths:
Due to issues with Mathletics, there won’t be any specific activities from us on there. Instead the children can still use live Mathletics. Additionally, the children have continued work on factors. Please she images below with examples of factor bugs. The children can have a go at finding factors for the numbers below or give them random numbers and see how many they can find.
Spelling:
This week, we are learning words that have an unstressed letter, making it easy to miss out when spelling, eg. different is often spelt diffrent because that is how we say it. We do not pronounce the first e.
Group 1: different, interest, separate, favourite, February, library, ordinary, frightening, generally, poisonous
Group 2: different, interest, separate, February, library
These words are available to practise on Spelling Shed if you want to use it, however, other ways of learning spellings is fine too.

Homework 12.11.20
Maths:
This weeks' homework is linked to both addition and subtraction as we come to the end of our unit. Please ensure the children read the questions carefully and use paper to solve if they are unsure.
Spelling:
This week we have been looking at the spelling rules when we add the suffix -ly:
•If the root word end in ‘y’, change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ and add ‘ly
happy - happily
•If the root word ends in ‘le’, change ‘le’ to ‘ly’
wobble - wobbly
•Most other endings you just add ‘ly’
quick - quickly
Please can you help your child to learn these rules by giving them examples for each word type (ending with y, ending with le and any other words) that they can then add -ly to, using the rules to spell correctly.
Examples of each to try:
cheery, messy, angry, grumpy
dribble, scribble, hobble
wild, careful, sad,
