Spellings

I hope everyone had a good long weekend! It's been a busy week so far in Hercules Class.

Just thought I would let you all know the spellings for this week:

Yellow: quite, quiet, quick, queen, quit

Orange: highest, fight, right, night, knight

Purple: guidance, knowledgeable, written, rhythm, doubtful  

I encourage the children to put these words into sentences to help comprehension, therefore they do not just learn the spelling but learn the meaning too. 

I will put some pictures up of our Stonehenge trip soon!

Hercules Homework and Spelling (22nd January 2016)

Firstly, all the roller coaster homework looks absolutely fab thankyou ever so much! Secondly the class as a whole are all doing very very well at their spellings which is great!

This week's homework will consolidate their learning of column addition and column subtraction. The activities on the homework get harder as they move onto each section. Please encourage your children to start on a task where they feel comfortable / challenged, it is not expected for them to complete every single section.
Also please be aware the red section on the homework involves column subtraction and borrowing and so only a handful of children have attempted that this week. Children will be given squared paper with their homework, if you need more then there will be lots of spares in the classroom. :)

Below is the homework for this week:

This homework is due on the 29th January 2016 and must be stuck into homework books. 

The spellings are below:

Yellow Spellings

position

option

instruction

pollution

ambition

Orange Spellings

correction

situation

relation

collection

relationship

Purple Spellings

persuasion

attraction

construction

confusion

cushion

BEANS

Can I also remind you that children should bring in a can of Heinz Baked Beans on Monday. 
This is to help them with their art project. If you are not able to get any please let me know by today so I can get some extra at the weekend. 

Many Thanks,
Mr. Thomas

Homework and Spellings (8th January 2016)

Happy New Year! I hope your lovely children have enjoyed their first week back as much as I have! We have had a lovely week this week doing plenty of Art and Poetry. 

This week is a research project and I have told the children they may research roller coasters in any way they want. They can look at anything they want as well, if they become stuck there are prompts on their sheet. 
Below is the homework and it is due on 22nd January 2016:

Homework

This week your homework is to research roller coasters. Roller coasters will be our first topic of 2016 and will take us up to Easter.

You should spend between 90 minutes (1 hour and a half) and 120 minutes (2 hours) on this piece of homework as it is not due for 2 weeks.

You may present your homework in any way that you like. If you decide to complete a project on a large piece of paper or perhaps build something then please take a photograph and stick it into your homework book.

 

Here are a few ideas to get you started if you are stuck:

•  The history of roller coasters.

• Your personal experience of roller coasters.

• The biggest roller coaster in the world?

•  The fastest roller coaster in the world?

• What was the first roller coaster build and when?

Remember these are just ideas if you would like to research something else to do with roller coasters then you should. The most important thing about this project is, is that you have fun with it!

Have fun and enjoy J

Mr. Thomas.
