Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 3^rd February  2026

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

alter   altar   threw  through  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.  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 to show degrees of possibility (should, could, would, maybe, will) or a time-fronted adverbial (next, firstly, secondly, finally)? Can you use parenthesis using 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.

Maths Task:  This week I would like to complete the worksheet entitled Multiply a 2-digit number by a 2-digit number.  Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 4 of Ollie and the Great Stink. This is our new e-book. Your login for Purple Mash has been stuck in your Homework Book.
