Think about how you can present this creatively. We’ll be having a look at everyone’s homework and then we’ll need to decide which one of our class’s homework we want to enter into the competition.

Gobblefunk words

To promote the big read and celebrate the work of Roald Dahl, this week’s spellings are all words found in his books.

Children should learn how to spell these words in preparation for their final spelling test on Friday 15 July.

Although these are made-up words, your child be practising the skill of learning new words – a vital life skill. There are lots of rules in these words which apply to spelling real or made-up words. (‘Squibbling’, for example, is probably a verb, ‘to squibble’, and uses two key rules: ‘drop the e for i n g‘ and the always important ‘double up for short vowel sounds’.)

This week’s homework is creative and due on 14 July 2016.

What is multiplication?

This week we have been using problem-solving skills to solve multiplication word problems. To reinforce our learning in class, your child needs to show us what they think multiplication is.

They could:

• write some of their own word problems using their favourite characters from books
• create their own ‘maths challenges’ that could be put on our maths challenge table
• produce their own arrays and explain the multiplication they can interpret
• use images of groups to represent multiplication questions

For example, part of my homework could include this image.

I could says that I can see five groups of four legs and label this image with 4 x 5 = 20. Your child should be able to create more than one multiplication questions for an image like this (four lots of single alpaca, five pairs of eyes).

This week’s spellings have all been taken from a recent spelling test we took as a class. The words are all “Year 3/4” words that pupils are expected to be able to spell (actually one isn’t but you will have to check the whole list which is in your child’s spelling book to find out which).

• favourite
• neighbour
• chemist
• expression
• week
• weak
• unique
• certain
• enough
• television

You may wish to discuss what spelling rules and patterns your child can see within these words. Do any spelling patterns apply to more than one spelling? (expression and television both have ‘sion’ suffix)

The homework this week is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 13 July.

I can learn and recite a poem.

The children have to choose one of the poems in this booklet to learn. They should write it neatly into their homework book and then practise reading it until they can recite it without looking at it.
