Term 1 Week 5

Homework for Lilac Class for the wb. 4.10.21

Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 12th October 2021

  1. Please learn the following words for a spelling test on 22.10.21. This week we are starting to learn tricky words from our Year 5 and 6 Spelling List.  I will not only be looking at your ability to spell the words but also whether you understand the meaning:

accommodate   accompany   according   achieve   aggressive   amateur  

  1. Put each word into a sentence that explains the meaning   If you are unsure, look the word up in a dictionary. Please put a comparative conjunction (e.g. as well as, also, equally, similarly, likewise) or contrasting conjunction (e.g. alternatively, although, whereas, while, in contrast, however, despite) into your sentence. Can you put a relative pronoun in your sentence? For example, who, whom, whoever, when, whatever, where, which and that.  What sentence openers can you use?  Can you put a connective in the middle of your sentence?  Remember to use a range of punctuation.  You do not need to do all of these things!  Try using at least three!  Please look carefully at the VCOP sheet that has been stuck into your Homework book.  This will help you.  The Monarchy sheet tells you strategies to help you learn your spelling and the use of pyramid words.
  2. Maths Task: This week I would like you to complete the Maths sheet Rounding Numbers to 100,000.  This is consolidating work we have covered in class.
  3. Online Tasks: I have set you some online Homework for the week beginning 4.10.21.  For MyMaths I have set you one activity entitled Solving Problems by Rounding.  For Purple Mash I have now set you Chapter 4 of an e-book called ‘A Bridge on Fire’.  I have also set you the multi-choice questions that go with this book.  Your logins for MyMaths and Purple Mash have been stuck in your Homework Book.
