We would like you to continue completing 2 pages per day of your GPS SATs revision book. It is also very important that you continue to read at home.

Every child in the class now has access to Reading Plus at home. We would recommend that you complete at least 45 minutes a day on the programme. Your teachers will be keeping in touch with everyone on a weekly basis to monitor how you are using the programme. Please see attached notes on how to access the programme.

Complete the attached questions about different types of word class (noun, verb, adjective etc…). You may need to remind yourself of what the different definitions are by referring back to your GPS revision book or looking online. (The answers to these questions will be given in your next newsletter)

We would also like you to complete the questions based upon the image entitled ‘World Travel’. Remember to answer the questions in as much detail as possible, trying where possible to give evidence and examples. Complete the dictionary activity and crossword.

Continue to work through your SATs revision books. We would recommend that you try to complete 2 pages of your Arithmetic book per day alongside 2 pages of your Number, Ratio and Algebra book

We would also like you to continue to visit www.topmarks.co.uk each day and complete two ‘Daily 10’ maths quizzes, one based on multiplication/division facts and one based upon fractions/percentages. This will enable you to build upon the your recall of mathematical facts.
