Mental Maths / Arithmetic
Today, spend some time on TTRockstars practicing your times tables so that you become automatic at knowing all time table facts.
Writing Task
We will continue with the Talk for Writing – King of the Fishes
Today I would like you to:
1st … how good are you at story telling the King of Fishes? Do you need to practice it a bit more?
If you are confident in telling the story with great expression and maybe some actions, you could (if you want to) video yourself telling it and email it to me. I’d love to see how you are getting on and I’ll post them onto the class blog.
2nd do the tasks on page 16, 17, 18. This is all about planning your innovation
Spellings
Don’t forget to practice this week’s spellings: early, earth, eight, enough, exercise.
Make sure that you know the meaning of each word. Perhaps you could write sentences with the words in.
Reading
Please don’t forget to read today. ‘The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the more places you will go.’ You should be able to access the book quizzes and don’t forget to go on Lexia (if you have a log in) for 15 minutes each day. Well done everyone.
