-      Literacy (20mins): The Tudors   For your homework this week we would like you to find out about different types of Tudor transport but particularly about Tudor boats. One of the most famous was the ‘Mary Rose’.   Use the KidRex search engine to help you find safe sites. Please ask your teacher if you cannot access this and need any books from the library.   Try to find out what it would be like on a Tudor ship. How many people would there be? What were their jobs? How long did ships travel for? What did the sailors eat?

• Spellings (20mins) should be practised for a short time each day, using the words given in sentences.

You need to:

 • look at each word

• say the word

• copy the word in first space

• cover the words and try to write it from memory

• check to see if they are right

This week your spellings are the days of the week and the months of the year. These are words we use every day, so practise spelling them from memory. They should also all have a capital letter at the start as they are proper nouns.
