Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 11^th February 2025

Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are continuing with our learning of homophones and near homophones:

alter   altar   cereal   serial   profit   prophet   draft   draught   desert   dessert

This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word to show that you understand the meaning.  Pairs of homophones have different meanings.  Can you use commas, full stops and capital letters correctly?  Can you use some direct speech in your sentences?  Can you use a relative pronoun such as that, which, who, whom and where? Can you use a modal verb or time fronted adverbial?  Can you use brackets to show additional information? Please refer to the ‘Monarchy’ Sheet that gives different strategies for how to learn spellings. This has been stuck in the front of your child’s Homework Book.

When was she born and when did she die?  Describe her background.  What contribution did she make to nursing as a profession? You can present your research as a mind map displaying key information about her.  Online Task: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 5 of ‘Ollie and the Great Stink’. Your login for Purple Mash has been stuck in your Homework Book.
