We have been practising words ending in 'cious' and 'tious'. Here are some examples:
nutritious
superstitious
malicious
vicious
gracious
Find some more and have a go at writing them
Don't forget to look at your spellings too. This week we have been talking about short vowel sounds and double middle letters such as:
swimming
hopping
dripping
tipping
digging
How many can you find that fit this rule?
We have now got six copies of 'Goodnight Mr Tom' and 'Letters from the Lighthouse' for you to borrow from school if you think they would interest you, just sign up on our reading board in the classroom! They are both fantastic books set in WWII. I was introduced to 'Letters from the 'Lighthouse' last year by a pupil and would highly recommend both books. You could even get our own copy......
Please continue to practise your times tables - it will help you long multiplication a great deal!
Also, try this spelling sheet..
Over half term, please research the Enigma Machine and be ready to discuss what you have found out when we come back to school.
Keep going with times tables. Play 'Hit the Button' online and continue with Times Table Rock Stars. Remember, you should be able to recall all your times tables to 12 x 12 in random order and as quick as possible!
Please also continue to practise fractions. Here are some to try. Choose your level:
2/5 + 6/5
7/8 + 4/8
12/10 + 5/10
8/11 - 3/11
10/15 - 2/15
