Spellings: homophones: when practising, make sure that your child knows the meaning of the different spellings for each homophone.
Times tables
Please continue practise 3 times tables. Remember, Purple Mash games are great for this. To challenge your child, they could try recalling the related division facts. E.g. 12 ÷ 2 = 6 They could then recall the multiplication and division fact families for each times table.
E.g. 6 x 2 = 12, 2 x 6 = 12, 12 ÷ 2 = 6, 12 ÷ 6 = 2
Another great website for times tables games and activities is:
