Suggested learning Elm Class Wednesday 29th April 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:
–tion is the most common spelling. It is used if the root word ends in t or te. –ssion is used if the root word ends in ss or –mit.
–sion is used if the root word ends in d or se.
Exceptions: attend – attention, intend – intention.
–cian is used if the root word ends in c or cs.
Can you write some sentences, using the words you have found?
Arithmetic: BODMAS! (I’m sure you and family members would love to see the youtube video on how to remember the order of Bodmas- I will link it below!)
Can you have a go at these questions?
100- (20 x 3)=
56 – (4 x7) =
( 5 x 7) – ( 2 x 5) =
18 – ( 9 x 4) + 32=
56- (5x 9) + 4 =
Grammar: Today we are going to be looking at a different type of pronoun- possessive pronouns! Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership of a person or thing. For example mine, his theirs.
Can you add a possessive pronoun to these sentences?
The fancy dress outfit belongs to me. It is _____________.
Those revision guides belong to you. They are __________.
The classroom equipment belongs to us. It is ____________.
That is Adam’s bike. It is ___________.
Those sweets are Ellie and Sam’s. They are __________.
English: Write a letter to Zach to say goodbye (hopefully just temporarily). Remember you are writing to a friend so you can include some informal language. Make sure you include the correct structure for your letter: an address, a greeting and a friendly ending. Give Zach your address so he can write to you in London!
Maths: L.O- I can round amounts of money in order to estimate a total. A great skill to have when managing money, is being able to estimate a total when shopping, to help you get an idea of the total before you pay, this will help you to keep to the amount you would like to spend. I have attached an example to the class webpage of a food shop receipt or if an adult has an old receipt for a food shop, you could use this (just don’t look at the total just yet!) Can you estimate the total of the shopping bill first by rounding the amounts to the nearest pounds or ten pence? Now can you work out the actual total? You may want to use a written method for this. Were they much different?
Topic: Can you choose a different activity from the Japan activity list on festivals today? Could you research a different festival or create something on a festival you have been looking at so far?
Stay safe,
Miss Coates.
