Term 4 Week 5

Homework for Lilac Class for the week beginning 20.3.23

Written Homework to be complete by Tuesday 28th March 2023

Please learn the following words for a spelling test. 10 words this week.  This week we are converting nouns or adjectives into verbs using the suffix -en’:

blacken  brighten   flatten   lengthen   mistaken   straighten   shorten   thicken   tighten   toughen     

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? Can you use an expanded noun phrase?  Can you use parenthesis – brackets, commas or dashes to show additional information?  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 I would like you to find out some information about Isambard Kingdom Brunel.  When was he born?  When did he die?  What was his background and what is he famous for?   Online Tasks: For Purple Mash please finish reading our e-book ‘Ollie and the Great Stink’. I have set a Classroom Secrets Kids activity this week entitled Multiples Game. Your logins for Classroom Secrets Kids and Purple Mash have been stuck in your Homework Book.
