Spelling

The words we have learnt this week all have a 'j' sound in them but the sound is not made by the letter J! See if you can remember our new spelling patterns and write some sentences with these words in...

could

would

should

Here is the little rhyme that helps us remember their tricky spelling...

Can you write some sentences with each of these spellings?

You could write some questions starting with each word too.

Maths

We have been using addition and  subtraction to solve problems this week in maths. 

Have a look at the links below and try and solve the word problems. You might want a piece of paper to hand so that you can draw a picture to find the solution.

This week's task

If you would like to help your child practise to tell the time using an analogue clock why not use this game to play at home?

Telling the Time

In Science this week we have started learning about the life cycles of different animals.

At home, why not look at this lesson all about butterflies. There are some videos to watch and things to read. We will be talking about the life cycles of other creatures in class next week.
