Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 18^th October 2022

Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning to spell homophones and near homophones – words that sound the same but do not mean the same:

past  passed    proceed  precede   aisle isle   aloud allowed

affect effect  

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?  Please refer to the ‘Monarchy’ Sheet that gives different strategies of how to learn spellings.  This has been stuck in the front of your child’s Homework Book.

English Task: For your research this week, find out as much as you can about the Moon.  How far away is it from the Earth?  How big is it?  Why does the Moon shine?  What are the different phases of the Moon?  Draw a picture of the two sides of the Moon. 

Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 5 of ‘Alien Hotel’ (our e-book) and also a Quiz to test your knowledge of the story so far.  I have set a Classroom Secrets Kids activity this week entitled Round to 10, 100 and 1,000.  Your logins for Classroom Secrets Kids and Purple Mash have been stuck in your Homework Book.
