Spelling Activity
This week’s spelling activity is to discuss and complete a range of practice questions involving prefixes (a part of a word that attaches to the beginning of a word to change the meaning e.g. un, dis, mis, re, auto, inter). Some of the questions require a suffix ( a part of a word that attaches to the end of a word to change the meaning, or add to its meaning e.g. ly, ing, ed, est).
Please see the attached sheet in your children’s homework books.

Spelling
This week, we would like children to investigate the suffix –ful.
Add –ful to the root word so the words become adjectives. Can you add it to any word?
How many words can you think of that has the suffix –ful. Create a list and write them in a sentence correctly.
Take care to only add one ‘l’ at the end and not a double!
skill – skilful , power – powerful, care – careful

Times Tables
The Year 3 children have made a good start on their 8 times tables this week. For homework, practise quick recall up to 12 x 8. We have used cubes and counting sticks to help us. Year 4 times tables, continue to practise the 7 times table up to 12 x 7 and consolidate on 6s.
Check out the calculations web-page for support sheets.
Challenge: For each times table fact, write the division number sentence. For example,
3 x 8 = 24 , 24 ÷ 8 = 3
56 = 7 x 8 , 7 = 56 ÷ 8

Christmas party
We all enjoyed our Christmas party before the holidays. The ‘dance-off’ was brilliant fun!
Living and Learning-I respect my communities and other communities.
This Living and Learning statement helps to promote the British value of mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. In KS1 we daily encourage respect for everyone and everything. We know that we are all the same AND we are all different! How amazing is that?
One child shared their homework about the celebration of Christmas. He proudly showed his Christingle. We discussed similarities and differences between Christmas and Eid. Will you be celebrating anything special this coming holiday?
