This week’s spellings are all more interesting words to use in your writing instead of said. The words also all have ‘ed’ endings because they’re in the past tense.
I’ve listed the words in order of how loud I think the words would be spoken. I think that number one is the quietest and that they get louder until number eight. Do you agree?
Can you think of any other words that would fit?
| 1. | mouthed |
| 2. | mumbled |
| 3. | muttered |
| 4. | grunted |
| 5. | called |
| 6. | exclaimed |
| 7. | cried |
| 8. | roared |
| 9. | shrieked |
| 10. | boomed |

The homework this week is Talk Time and is due in on Wednesday 20 June.
If you were marooned (stranded) on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you and why?
The question is: do you go for luxury items or do you go for practical items?
Would a hairdryer be as useful as a box of matches? Can you live without Heinz Baked Beans? Would you miss your favourite teddy bear too much?
The objects can be from modern day or the past.

This week’s spellings all end with the suffix ful.
Notice how when ‘full’ is added on to the end, it loses one of its ls. For example, wonder and full becomes wonderful.
| LO: Words that end with ‘ful’. |
| wonderful |
| joyful |
| beautiful |
| thoughtful |
| careful |
| powerful |
| awful |
| painful |
| helpful |
| cheerful |

As the statutory phonics screening check will take place next week, there is no spelling homework.
There is no date set for which children will be tested on which day; as always, avoid unnecessary absences.
Thank you.

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect – to complete a phonics worksheet.
You’ll find the worksheet in your child’s homework book.
This homework is due on Wednesday 20 May 2012.
Oh I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside!
Fun was had by all on Wednesday when Years 1 and 2 went to Filey beach. The weather was on our side and the sun came out as we arrived. Lots of excitement was had paddling in the sea and making some fantastic sandcastles. Some children looked like they were leaving home as their bags were so full but they learnt the hard way when they had to carry them all day! There were lots of soggy clothes and tired children (and staff) but an enjoyable day was had by all.
Watch this space… photos to follow!
The last SEAL theme of the year is…
…called Changes.
This theme tackles the issue of change and aims to equip your child with an understanding of different types of change, both positive and negative, and common human responses to it.
The last half-term before the summer holidays is obviously a good time to consider changes. All the children in school will be starting to think of changing class – their teacher and their classroom. Year 6 children will also be thinking about changing school, whilst Year 5 children will be thinking about changes as part of Sex and Relationships Education where they will consider changes to do with puberty.
The theme seeks to develop your child’s ability to understand and manage the feelings associated with change. It aims to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in three key social and emotional aspects of learning: motivation, social skills and managing feelings.
