Please write in your reading diary when you have read.

You will have been allocated a Bug Club book to read at home, which will be different to the one that you are reading in school. Check with your teacher if you are not sure which one is which. Don’t forget to answer the ‘bugs’- look out for them on each page!

 

Maths (20mins):

Our topic this week is time. We have been looking at converting between analogue and digital time, converting from 12 and 24 hour time, calculating elapsed time and using timetables.

Maths work will be posted on Mathletics. If you have any problems accessing this work please speak to the teacher for a paper copy.

Please also practise your times tables. This week I need to practise my _____ x tables.

 

Literacy (20mins):

For our book week topic we have been looking at the book ‘Flotsam’. In the story some mysterious photographs are found by a boy on the beach. There are lots of unusual pictures of creatures underwater such as mechanical fish, an octopus sitting on a sofa and a turtle with a whole city on its back. As part of our story writing this week, we have focused on using expanded noun phrases with a preposition. For your homework, imagine or draw your own underwater scene and then write a paragraph on the blog describing what’s in the scene that you have created. Remember to use expanded noun phrases. Choose your adjectives carefully-try to use some that nobody else will use!

Minimum 100 words.
