Homework- Friday 18th December 2020

Literacy Maths Science More Literacy

Reading

Choose a book you have read recently. Are there any words that you don’t know? Look them up in a dictionary to find its definition (what the word means).

Can you remember what order words are listed in a dictionary?

If you don’t have a dictionary at home, you can try these ones online:

It’s competition time! Can you win this week’s tournament on TTRockstars? Spend 20 minutes per day practising your times tables. Can you challenge a friend or teacher?!
 

 

Google classroom: 2D shapes

On google classroom, you will find a sheet about 2D shapes and their properties.

 

We've learnt all about parallel lines and perpendicular lines, and learnt to identify them in new shapes we’ve learnt like quadrilaterals, rhombus, kite and parallelogram.

 

Put your knowledge to the test in this activity that requires you to decide if certain statements are true or false, match the shape to its description, as well explain your reasoning.

A fact is something that can be proven to be either true or false. You cannot change a fact.

 

An opinion is what a person thinks or feels about something. You can change an opinion.

Spellings

 

Over the Christmas holiday, the spelling you have to learn are those that have the letters ‘gh’ in them.

The really tricky bit is that the ‘gh’ sounds different depending on the word, which means you need to remember how to read them, as well as how to spell them!

  1. naughty
  2. enough
  3. thought
  4. caught
  5. although
  6. through
  7. weight
  8. tough
  9. height
  10. eighth

 

Remember to look, say, cover, write and check the words to help you learn them. They will be tested the first Friday back from the holidays. Good luck!
