Remember: I have high expectations of you, so you must have high expectations of yourself. Hand in work which you are proud of.
Let your parents help and support you with your homework - learning is learning and getting advice and help is not cheating; it just shows you are thinking about what you need to improve.
However, don't let your parents actually DO your homework for you; I don't want to mark their ideas, I want to see yours. If you're stuck, just come and tell me on Monday and we'll look at it again together - don't wait until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Homework:
From Friday 20th May 2022

Follow the instructions on the arithmetic sheet. Write the question in your book first and work in the left column only of each page
The weekly arithmetic worksheet will also be available in the 'Files' tab of your Class team, under the weekly arithmetic folder - and below on this page.
At the moment, we are NOT using Teams for homework - we are reserving this for children who may need to isolate.
If you see any assignments on Teams for Year 5 or Year 6, these are not for you to do - they will usually be titled 'Home School...'. They are for children who need to isolate, so you should not do them at home.

Remember to FILL the boxes in questions which need explanations.
Tips:
1.Use the word 'because' to force you to explain.
2. A three mark explanation question needs three different ideas, or twoideas explained really well - with evidence from the text.
3. Be precise in your detail in your answers.
