We have been writing 500 words stories this week. They need to be finished for home learning by next Friday. These will need to be typed and emailed to school.
This writing is an assessment piece of writing so it is of the upmost importance that adults do not have involvement or help you, when you are writing this. The writing you finish will be going in your hot task writing folder towards your SATs writing evidence.
This writing must be in school by next Friday, otherwise it will not be able to count towards your writing evidence.

Please write a summary of the plot of your favourite story and keep it in school from Wednesday, to use in school to assist planning.
Please also complete your personalised tasks on mathletics, Sumdog and spellingframe, as well as continuing with your self-study to close your gaps.
A big well done to those people who have been using Sumdog every day. Some children have built over 12 hours now and are seeing that their spelling gaps are narrowing! For those who have not been logging on to Sumdog regularly, please know that this is an amazing resource and we are seeing that it is helping the regular users to progress in their learning journey. You are missing a trick!

This week we have been concentrating on the inference skill in reading. For home learning please complete the questions, using the extract of The Jungle Book.
You should also complete the assigned tasks on mathletics, ensure that you are reading for at least 15 minutes every day and continue your close the gap spellings. Remember, that all tasks completed in school for self-study and at home should be recorded in your close the gap planner.
We have been introduced to a fun new website for spelling this week: spellingframe.co.uk
This website provides tests and practise games for all of the spellings rules for KS2 (from year 3 to year 6). Please do continue to use this at home but please make sure that you are practising the appropriate spelling rules. You could continue with our homophones spellings or do your own close the gap practise, using the gaps you have recorded for yourself in your planner. Try not to pick a rule at random and avoid spelling rules you are already a master of.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Snowdon
