Homework 18th June
If you were a superstar and did this last week then you don't have to do any homework this weekend. Enjoy the sunshine .
This week I would like you to come up with words which have silent letters in them - either at the beginning (gnome), at the end (lamb) or in the middle (chocolate- the o is not usually pronounced- we say chocolate not choc-o-late).
Remember this is to help you with your spellings so make sure you use tricky words. As before, I will laminate good ones to use in class.

Maths homework
April 30th
We have been finding percentages of amounts of money.
We have learnt that we can do this if we think about the fraction that is equivalent. So, to find 50 percent, we divide by two because 50 percent is the same as one half
To help you remember I would like you to make a poster (in your homework book, or on paper, or on the computer) which explains how to work out 25, 50, 10,1 percent. You can show others as well if you like.
It must explain how to work out the percentages (and the new prices if you are showing a shop sale)

Literacy Homework April 23rd
In class we will be looking at a range of traditional tales, myths, legends and fables. Please could you list a variety of these and try to read some over the next two weeks. In your book I would like a list of these types of stories along with a brief retelling of your favourite one. (Today is St George's day so you could have a look at that legend!)
Thanks

Parts of this will be included in your story
I am looking for a paragraph which contains the following:-

3) A variety of sentence starts
4) Commas used in descriptions

Bubbling through the ground's surface, the ......
