How many words can you learn from the statutory spelling list? Here is a spelling mat with all of the words on. Maybe you could try to learn how to spell five words that you think are rather tricky!
Have a go at one of these crosswords. If you scroll down you will find lots of versions and some that even give you the first letter as a clue!

We are continuing our work on fractions. This week we will order, add and subtract fractions as well as solve problems. There are four lessons that each have a downloadable worksheet.

PSHE (Monday)
Watch this video which looks at the book – ‘Where Happiness Begins’. We’d like you to think of all the amazing places where you’ve found happiness, similar to the shelf in the story on the first page. What could you put for labels on your jars? They could be people, places, activities or anything that helps you to find happiness!
You can use the sheet below to label the jars with what makes you happy. Why not add pictures to your sheet too? If you prefer you could use plain paper and draw your own jars to label!
GEOGRAPHY (Tuesday)
This week we would like you to be great geographers by locating the rivers and seas of the UK. Have you visited any of these rivers? What do you notice about these rivers?
Now, we’re going to look at how you use map symbols and co-ordinates. This should build on the previous learning you did in week 1 looking at the BBC bitesize videos. In this lesson we’d like you to answer the questions on the attached sheet.
