Spelling

Today we are going to be looking at a new suffix -est.

 

Think about these words with the suffix -est. What do you think the suffix -est does to these words?

 

biggest

smallest

longest

widest

quickest

slowest

 

The suffix 'est' shows that it is the most! Today we are looking at root words where we can just add -est.

 

Can you write these root words with the suffix est?

Challenge: Put one of the words into a sentence, can you use a conjunction?

tall
quick
thick
light
fast
fresh
bright
cold

 

English

Today we are going to be editing our work and writing it up neatly. The completed work today needs to be written up on the paper provided in your pack as it will be stuck into your published writing books at school.

 

Editing

Watch Mrs Bragg's video below and use the attachments to help you edit your work.

Remember that sentences and proper nouns (names, places, days of the week and months) need to begin with a capital letter. Ensure you have clear finger spaces in your work and that most of your spellings are correct. You can use the tricky word sheet on this page to help you find the correct spelling. Sentences need to finish with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark so think about the sentence type you have used.

Maths

 

Today in maths we are recapping the 2 times table. Watch the video below to remind yourself (and learn the catchy tune!)
