what’s happened up to Chapter 14 in Harry Potter.

See Mathletics (3P Learning) Addition and Subtraction

worksheets below.

Only five worksheets this week – remember this is mental

practice even though you’re writing it down – don’t just do

the sums, estimate your answers by rounding and make sure

you’re thinking about your thinking!

Ask for help if you need it.

1. Complete Sumdog Challenge – how confident are

you with Place Value? Does your Sumdog score

reflect your confidence?

2. Where in life might you see decimals (i.e. Olympics

when timing a race)? Create a list of places you may

see decimals. If you are really stuck, try and look

around your house as their will be plenty of

examples.

3. Complete attached TeeJay worksheets on Place

Value. There are two choices, a sheet from TeeJay

2a and one from TeeJay 2B. Pick the sheet that you

believe will give you the most challenge.

4. Complete the Sumdog Assessment.

Mr McRae will share the answers on Friday for both worksheets.

If you are struggling, please leave a comment on Teams and

either Mrs Matthews or Mr McRae will help you.

personal targets to achieve this month.

model of how you think a cave, arch and stack might form. Also try the worksheet attached below.

Set your own Health and Wellbeing target for the rest of

June – do you think you need to prioritise your mental

or physical health just now? Remember Lesley, the

Pilates lady, said that whatever you find difficult is

probably what you need to do most!

Share your target with the class if you want – or just with

your teacher – or keep it to yourself, but be ready to

discuss your progress with your targets at the end of

June. Remember to keep things achievable.

Check in on your friends and family and just be kind.

How about making your own Sports Day challenges

and showing or telling us how you did? This year

everyone could come first! (Possible exception of

Emma, Jordyn, Valentino and Benito!)

Spelling Chilli Challenge

From the word lists below, select the set that will challenge you at an appropriate level. Give yourself a spelling test using the words

before you start – words you get correct straight away may not need more work. If your spelling is great at the start of the week, your

focus is on using the words correctly in sentences. Talisman group – use your own lists but feel free to use these lists too!
