Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 30th November 2021

1. Please learn the following words for a spelling test on 3.12.21. This week we are learning more words with silent letters:

competition   criticise   curiosity   definite   desperate  determined

2. 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. Can you use a model verb such as must, will, should or could to show the degree of possibility? 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.
