Homework 10th - 14th October 2016

• Maths - I've decided to change the format of maths homework for a while. Homework for the week will now be from the 'Master Your Maths' book. The questions cover a lot of the maths curriculum every night and need the mastery of key skills to complete. If possible please sit with your child for the math problem section (Q13 - Q16) and also check over all other questions. I will be going through similar word problems as found in the book to help with understand. Pagtes 18 and 19 to be completed for Friday correction.
• English - similar to last week. Please read chapter three from 'Under the Hawthorn Tree'. There is an accompanying question sheet to test comprehension. Answers do not have to be written.
• English Spellings - This week's spellings focus on the prefix 'mis'. The vocabulary is based on the current science topic.
• Irish Spelling - Irish spellings up until mid term will be revision. This coming Friday will be the same as last week i.e. I will ask the pupils to answer each question individually. The two Fridays before mid term, I will test their ability to write a paragraph about themselves without any prompts. Pupils will have to remember as many of the questions as possible from memory.
• Duolingo - 50 XP challenge
