Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 27th January 2026

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

stationery   stationary   fate   fete    wary   weary   practise   practice   piece   peace   great   grate

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.

English Task: This week I would like you to find out some information about the Victorian Workhouse. What was life like for those inside?  What food did they eat? What did they wear?  Was there a workhouse in Tunbridge Wells?   Draw a picture of a Victorian workhouse.   Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 3 of Ollie and the Great Stink. This is our new e-book. Your login for Purple Mash has been stuck in your Homework Book.
