Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 24^th May 2022

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

stationery   stationary   steal   steel   wary   weary   who’s  whose   fate   fete       

2. This week I would like you to write a sentence containing each word to show that you understand the meaning. 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 use an expanded noun phrase?  Can you use commas, dashes or brackets to show additional information? Can you use some direct speech? Remember to use a range of punctuation.  You do not need to do all of these things!  Try using at least three! 
3. Maths Task: For your Maths this week please complete the work sheet entitled ‘Add Mixed Numbers’.
4. Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 1 of ‘The Silver Secrets of the Golden Hind’ (our new e-book) and a quiz to go with this.  For Classroom Secrets Kids I have set you a task entitled Year 5 Arithmetic Test Practice 4.
