You have investigated the prefixes ‘in’ and ‘im’ today in class and know that they mean ‘not’. They are put in front of the word to mean not  ______.

e.g.,    If the word is ‘active’  and ‘in’ is added in front of it, it means ‘not active’

Try your best to learn these words ready for Tuesday 2nd May (Monday is a bank holiday) :

proper     improper
mature    immature
patient    impatient
polite      impolite

attentive          inattentive
convenient    inconvenient
accurate        inaccurate
active            inactive

numeracy – further learning on times tables. Each pupil has a fun activity worksheet to work on their specific times table targets. Pupils need to keep working on these and rehearsing saying the multiples frequently .  For example 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20.

literacy – you have started to learn about Hinduism and you will learn even more next week on the school trip. Over the weekend try to research Hinduism and find 4 new things you didn’t know. Record them in your homework book by drawing, writing words or writing sentences.  You can choose how you want to record what you have found out. You will probably need an adult to help research. Remember to put it in your own words and not copy as you need to understand what you have learnt.

You have been working on understanding ‘cian’ words in class. You will have a homework sheet, which will ask you to alphabetically order words. Once this is done, Mrs Reece wants you to learn the spellings. The words you have are from the list below:

dietician
electrician
magician
musician
optician
physician
technician
mathematician
politician
beautician

LEARN THE WORDS FOR A SPELLING CHALLENGE ON FRIDAY! Have fun. Think of all of the fun ways in which you can learn the words.

In class, we have been practising the inverse when checking answers. Please try to have a go at some of these at home.

e.g.: 234 – 121 =

Estimate first, by rounding to the nearest 10: 230 – 120 =

230- 100 – 20 = 110

Now do it:

2 3 4
– 1 2 1
1 1 3  

Then CHECK it:Use the opposite symbol to the one used in the sum, which would be a + 

1 1 3
+ 1 2 1
  2 3 4                   CORRECT!

Have a go at these:

1) 524 – 231 =

2) 332 – 112 =

3) 987 – 206 =

4) 901 – 432 =

5) 443 + 221 =

6) 201 + 109 =

We explored fractional quantities last term and have also revised them in class. Your task is to complete the fractional quantity sheet in your books. Please do not write on the sheets, but copy them into your books neatly.

To find fractional quantities of a number:

e.g.

4/5 of 20.

1) First ask yourself, ‘How many fifths? 5. So how many 5s are in 20?’ What does this mean? Well it means, divide the number by 5.

1/5 = 20 ÷ 5  = 4

But I need 4 of them! So that would be 4+4+4+4= 16 (or 4 x 4=16)

So 4/5 of 20 is 16.

Please ask if you are worried about anything!
