Written Homework to be completed by Tuesday 12^th March 2024

Please learn the following words for a spelling test. This week we are learning to spell words that convert nouns or adjectives into verbs using the suffix -ate:

pollinate   captivate   activate   motivate   communicate   medicate   elasticate   alienate   

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 for 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 the Victorian classroom.  How was education different from today?  How were children punished?  What did they write with and what did they write on?  What subjects did they learn? How were children taught?  Online Tasks: For Purple Mash please finish reading our e-book ‘Ollie and the Great Stink’.
