Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 14^th June 2022

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

alter  altar   ascent   assent   bridal   bridle   cereal   serial   compliment   complement      

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. English Task: For your English task this week I would like you to find out as much as you can about the survivors of the Titanic disaster in 1912.  What were their names?  How old were they at the time of the tragedy? Were the first class, second class or steerage passengers?  Were they members of the crew? 
4. Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 2 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 Divide by 10, 100 and 1,000.
