The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 30 January.
I know the different parts of a sentence.
The children have a sheet stuck in their homework books. They need to read the sentences and identify the different types of words in the sentences.
They might need to spot all the nouns and verbs or some children might also have to identify the adjectives and adverbs as well. Underline/highlight each type of word with a different colour.
- Noun: a thing, object, person or place.
- Verb: an action or a ‘doing word’.
- Adjective: is a ‘describing word’. It describes the noun.
- Adverb: describes how something is done. It describes the verb.
Professor Gibbins visits Moortown Primary
We were very luck that Professor Gibbins managed to stop by and give us some mind-boggling facts about space. He looks strangely familiar…

This week’s spellings are plurals again. However, this week our spellings require you to drop a y from the route word and replace it with ies.
| LO: drop the y for ies | |
| spy | spies |
| city | cities |
| party | parties |
| baby | babies |
| lady | ladies |
| injury | injuries |
| worry | worries |
| galaxy | galaxies |
This is very similar to one of our main spelling rules. Do you know which one it is?

We’re still practising words which have split digraphs. This week we are looking at ‘u – e‘, for example, tub (with a short ‘u’ sound) changes to tube (with a longer ‘u’ sound) when there’s an ‘e’.
| cube |
| huge |
| tune |
| use |
| tube |
| cute |
These will be tested on Friday 01 February 2013.

The homework this week is creative and is due in Wednesday 30 January.
I can show what I already know about treasure.
As you all know, our new Big Topic is Hidden Treasure. We’d like you to show us what you already know about the topic. As always, you can be as creative as you like, but if you’re struggling why not…
- draw and label a picture
- use a computer to find information
- create a comic strip
- make a collage
We look forward to seeing your ideas.
Fun in the snow
