Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning words that contain silent letters:

aisle   debris   mortgage   wrestle   wrapper   island   Christmas   yacht   guarantee  guilty

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? 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: This week find out as much as you can about Sir Isaac Newton.  Where and when was he born?  Where did he live?  What did he achieve?  Draw a picture of him. 

Online Tasks: For Purple Mash I have set you Chapter 7 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 Inverse Operations Maths Challenge.   Your logins for Classroom Secrets Kids and Purple Mash have been stuck in your Homework Book.
