We are looking at the suffixes -er and -est again this week. They require you to drop the e from the root word before adding the suffix. The children could be tested on any of the words with a suffix.
-
- nice nicer nicest
- large larger largest
- wise wiser wisest
- strange stranger strangest
- close closer closest
- brave braver bravest
- cute cuter cutest
We will continue with the 10 times table and the children will be tested on this next Friday. This week, the children have been taught the technique of skip counting on their fingers to help with their times tables.
It is important to note, when rehearsing tables, to vary the mathematical language used. In class, we will be familiarising the children with the words multiply, lots of, groups of and times.
