Division (Due 29th April)
Please answer 4 of the questions from the selection. Please do not write out the questions. Please do show your working.
Non-compulsory homework. As we are participating in a space themed science week this week I would thoroughly enjoy seeing any space themed cakes or biscuits that you could make at home. You could write your recipe and method into your homework book or you could take a picture for your homework book. I am happy to print off any pictures for you in school if you do not have a printer.
All classes are taking part in Science Week so please encourage your younger siblings to take part with you.
This homework is completely optional and there is no deadline so if you are too busy this week please have a go any other time.
Spellings 5th April
The spellings this week will be a selection of words from this term’s spelling dictations.
In science this week we created posters explaining what each part of a flower does. We found it important to distinguish between a flower and a plant. (A flower is part of a plant and enables the plant to reproduce) It was a lot of fun dissecting the flowers and seeing for ourselves how all the parts fit together.
In English this week we finished our unit on persuasive writing by writing a persuasive letter. We all wrote formal letters to different individuals asking for different things. We wrote about how our ideas would offer benefits to areas such as; health, jobs, crime and the environment. They were also filled with persuasive features and punctuation that we have been learning to use this year.
Missing Angles (Due 1st April)
Please draw the angles into your homework books. (Not to scale)
Your task is to calculate the missing angles around the point. Remember that the sum of angles around a point is 360 degrees. Therefore by using subtraction and division you will be able to calculate what is missing.

This week we celebrated Work Book Day. The costumes were all fantastic and we would like to thank our parents for helping us come up with them. During guided reading we reviewed the books that are characters came from.
Also this week we have been finding percentages of amounts and solving percentage problems. We found it beneficial to draw out the problem visually and how it was often beneficial to find 10% of an amount first before tackling the rest of the problem.

English (Due 4th March 2019)
Compose a Lipogram – A written work which avoids the use of specific letters.
This week your task is to write a Lipogram. I would like you to write about a memorable experience you have had, I.e. a holiday or birthday etc. However you must write your text without the letter ‘e’.
This is my go at this task. During my days off from work, I got onto a train, it took us to a city up North. It was cold but I could visit my family which was brilliant. On my visit in April I will fly, as this will allow us to show up rapidly.
Now it is your turn.
I highly recommend you use a thesaurus for this task.
Maths (Due 4th March 2019)
This week your task is to find percentages of amounts. To do this I suggest you first find 1%, 10% 50% and use these to help you find the more obscure percentages.
If this challenge is too difficult you can instead find 1% (divide by 100) 10% (divide by 10) and 50% (half) of each amount shown.
