Daily Journal/Diary - Grammar:

Keep a daily Journal/Diary. Write about your day. What you did you do? For example, did you go to the shops or the park, walk along the canal. What you can see out of the window. What can you see in your immediate environment? For example, can you see the canal? Can you see the park? Can you see the shops?
Your grammar lesson this week will explore the use of adjectives – describing words.
For example: I saw an enormous sea gull in the park.

I can see a beautiful green tree in the park.

Your reading lesson this week is to learn a poem by heart. Then you can do the fun Reading Comprehension below. As you know children one of my favourite poems is The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear.
Please look at the following video as many times as it takes for you to learn all the words.
You can do this by writing the words down for yourselves.
When you think you know the words by heart, recite them to your family.
Draw your own illustration by copying the front cover of the book.

This week we are learning about FRACTIONS. When we talk about fractions we are really talking about division.

Examples:

If I ask you to cut your pizza equally in half (1/2) what am I actually asking you to do? I am asking you to divide your pizza equally by 2.
If I ask you to cut your pizza equally into quarters (1/4) I am asking you to divide your pizza by 4.
If I ask you to cut your pizza equally into thirds (1/3) I am asking you to divide your pizza by 3.

Please complete these worksheets attached on fractions (attached).
Some of these worksheets are more difficult than others.
Please concentrate on halves (1/2); quarters (1/4) and thirds (1/3).
Ask your mummy or daddy and your siblings to help you.
I have attached an answer booklet so that you can check your work.

Remember children we have learnt about fractions already e.g. sharing a packet of sweets equally with your friends; cutting birthday cakes; when we mark our spelling tests on Fridays out of 12 by writing the number of correct spellings over 12. For example, if you got half of your spellings right you would write 6/12.
