Home Practice 2^nd October 2020

This week we have read ‘How the Hare became’ and performed a role play between Hare and another character in the story.  Following this, we learnt how to punctuate speech correctly.  We also wrote a class poem and performed it together for National Poetry Day.  In French we practised numbers to 31 and the days of the week.

Well done to everyone who has been on Sumdog during the last week – practising these skills is the key to making progress, so keep up your fantastic efforts. 

Reading

Please read for 20 minutes each evening to an adult at home.  Make sure you discuss the story and the characters.  Find the meaning of any new words too.  Reading every night will help you read more fluently and with understanding. 

Times tables

You have been given your own individual times table target.  Please make sure you continue to practise your times tables in preparation for your test next Thursday (8^th October 2020).  Ask someone at home to test you on your tables – can you recall them quickly and accurately?  Well done to everyone who has been practising their tables during the past week – it is fantastic to see the progress you are making.

Spellings

The spellings this week explore the ‘i’ sound spelt y elsewhere than at the end of a word. Please practise your spellings each evening at home.  You will be tested on them next Thursday (8^th October 2020).  We have discussed in class different strategies you could use to help you learn them and you could always use ‘Look say cover write check’.
