I want' never gets...

Sunday 14 Jun 2015

Literacy:  We have been looking at persuasive writing and how to create a letter that could convince the reader to change their mind about a topic.  

How to help at home...
  • Talk to your child about the following areas - emotive language, counter arguments, exaggeration and  how to address/ sign off when writing a letter.
Maths: In addition to our times tables and mental maths tests, we will be working upon fractions throughout the week.

How to help at home...
  • Mental methods - practise the times tables your child hasn't yet passed and ask them to work out simple everyday problems such as adding several amounts together without pencil and paper.
  • Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator.
  • Finding fractions of an amount e.g. what is 1/3 of £21
