Suggested learning Elm Class Friday 1st May 2020

Spellings: This week, I would like you to look at words ending cian, tion and sion. The rules for adding these suffixes to a root word are as follows:Can someone at home test you on 10 of the spellings you have been working on this week?

Arithmetic:  I have uploaded the weekly test below along with the answers if you would like to have a go at this. 

Grammar: I have attached a photo of an example test question on the different types of pronouns, can you have a go at it? Using your knowledge from this week, can you write one sentence using a personal pronoun, one using a possessive pronoun and one using a relative pronoun?

Please make sure you are also reading 20 minutes daily. 

English:  P4C question to discuss: 

Is letter writing a lost art or should we stop writing letters?

Maths: L.O- I can create and stick to a simple budget.  Below are a few options for this, one where you will need to access the internet to look at the costs of an actual shop and two worksheets which I have attached below (silver and gold challenge) where you are already given prices of foods in different shops and have to compare these to see if you can stick to your budget and which may be the cheapest!

With lots of time at home, you may have found yourselves doing some cooking or baking of nice things! Imagine you and your family are making pizzas tonight! An adult could always give you an imaginary budget, can you make a list of things you would need and, with the help of an adult, you could use an online grocery site to find some prices for your shopping list- can you stick to the budget? If not, you could help an adult with finding some prices of ingredients of meals they may be making next week, can you help them stick to a budget for their shopping list? Giving yourself a budget is a great way to save money and to make sure you do not spend more than you need to! If you would prefer to do the sheet activity that is absolutely fine too! Can you find the cheapest shop? Can you stick to the budget! Off you go!

Topic: Can you have a go at a Japan activity you have yet to do this week? Could you research a different festival and present it in a different way?  Could you make something linked to a festival?

For example, below I have attached a picture of the flying fish decorations, which are created to celebrate the festival known as ‘Kodomo no hi’ or the Children’s Day Celebration. Can you find out what this festival is? Why are carps used? Why are the windsocks created?

Thank you for all of your support and engagement this week,

Miss Coates.
