Cold Write- I can write an auto-biography.
Today, can children write about their lives up til now. We will be learning about biographies in this next genre and this will be our introduction to it. In school, we give minimal help on a cold task. This will show us how they write now and what we need to improve on. Some help may be given by writing some ideas (words not sentences) down so they can get started but try and leave them to it and see what they produce.

Targets
My Maths
My Maths homework will be set each week. If you forget your login details or have any questions, please speak to Mrs Whelan.
Maths Olympics
Maths Olympics has been introduced in Class 4 to help children to develop fast recall of their times and divide tables up to 12 x 12 and other key number facts.
Each week, the children will be tested against the clock on the number fact or times table they are working on. Once they can recall all the facts correctly in one minute, they will earn a gold certificate and move onto the next challenge.
So that you and your child know what to practise at home, the children will complete their own achievement sheets each week – a copy of this can be found below. These will then be kept in their homework folders and I will also keep a record in school. I am sure the children will enjoy bringing their certificates home to show you.
Many thanks for your continued support; together we can make this a really rewarding activity.
Spellings
This year, we are using spelling lists from the website Shakespeare and More. The children choose up to 12 spellings to learn and only move onto the next list when they show they can spell their words in their writing.
Use these ideas to learn your spellings
-
Spell the word out loud
-
Make a wordsearch
-
Play hangman
-
Anagrams (muddle up the order of the letters and work out the word
-
Mnemonic (make a saying or rhyme that helps you to remember tricky words or spelling patterns e.g. I Get Hot Toes - IGHT
-
Play the dice game
Throw a 1 = write the word in capital letters, Throw a 2 = write the word with your eyes closed, Throw a 3 =type the word, Throw a 4= Bubble write and colour it in, Throw a 5= Write the word on someone’s back, in the air or on sand (when you go to the beach!), Throw a 6 = write the word out 5 times in joined writing
Grammar Overview - a useful document that includes the tricky terms we cover.
SUMMER TERM 2016
Our topic this half term is called Where in the World... We will be learning about The Queen and the Royal Family, The Commonwealth, Euro 2016 and the Rio Olympics. The children are also choosing their own mini-projects to research. The new homework menu can be found in the homework section.
When we were learning about the Mayans, we cooked tortillas and made guacamole. I thought it would be a good idea to do some Ugandan cooking for our Commonwealth topic. You can read all about it on our Spotlight On display board.

Friday Fun - den building in Diamond Time.

Summer Term Homework - remember to check My Maths for your tasks each week and use your spellings in sentences.
A quick note about Summer Term spelling homework ... the children will be given a list of spellings every other week from which to choose 12. They can also choose from their own errors.

Any questions, please speak to Mrs Whelan.
