Spelling

Our spellings this week are words that are plurals (more than one of something.) We have looked at words that end in y and how they change to plurals.


fly, flies

carry, carries, 

baby, babies

lady, ladies


This week you could have a go at the activities on BBC bite size linked to plurals. Click this link to access the activities; https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z3dw4xs

 

Maths

This week we have been learning about fractions. We have found out that they are equal parts of a whole. Watch this video to remind yourself...

This week's activity...


This week in science we have been looking at different materials that things are made from. Have a look around your house. What can you find that is made from plastic, metal, wood or glass? Can you describe each of the materials? Are they hard / rough / smooth / transparent / absorbent / waterproof?

Then think about these ideas...
