Homework for Monday 21st November



Spelling - revision week. Look over your spelling check ups from the block. Which was your trickiest pattern? Practise the words using the LSCWC strategy and choose a spelling task from the grid to further reinforce the spelling pattern. No sentences or definitions are required this week. There will be a spelling check up on words from the whole block so make sure you take time to revise all the patterns and words.

Maths:

Practise your financial and mental maths skills by trying some of the interactive games on the topmarks website. If you want to improve mental arithmetic to support class economy then checkout challenge is for you. If you would like help in finding half, quarters or other fractions of money to help with percentage calculations then try pizza fractions. For support with making more tricky class economy calculations try checkout change (which is tablet friendly).

Music: 
We have reached the end of our learning focus on Rivers. You all worked very hard on the scientific and geographical aspects of learning about rivers and produced some superb fact based evidence of learning. To finish off we would like you to think about a more creative style of learning: MUSIC.
Your task is to choose 3 songs or pieces of music from the theme of RIVERS. These pieces can be pop music, classical, rock, instrumental or vocal, or indeed from any genre of music. In your jotter write down the song title, artist/composer/performer, genre and why you chose it/what it makes you think about. You will be asked to share ONE of your choices with your group on Monday.
