Hello everyone!
We hope you enjoyed your first week back at home school after the holidays and are ready for week 4 of home learning.
As usual, we would like you to fill in and sign your reading record, practise your spellings (attached below) and work on your times table recall every day, Monday – Friday.
We have also attached a handwriting booklet below so you can keep practising your handwriting.

Wednesday - Page 5 - practise adding and subtracting numbers (some of which are negative numbers). Complete the activity before marking your work in a different coloured pencil (answers are on page 6). You can continue to challenge yourself by making up questions to solve which mean that you would have to cross zero on the number line. Can you make up word problems to solve which involve negative numbers, e.g. about temperature?
Thursday - Page 7 - practise rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. Complete the activity before marking your work in a different coloured pencil (answers are on page 8).
