Spellings - Words ending ‘-tion’ 
Use the following words: 
station, fiction, motion, nation, section, education, foundation, competition, lotion, direction, fraction. 
Ask child to clap and count the syllables in station: ‘sta’ / ‘tion’. Ask them to spell the first part and highlight that this is a word where the  /eɪ/ phoneme is spelt with single letter ‘a’. Explain that the ending ‘–tion’ is a tricky one that is not spelt as it sounds. Ask if they know how it is spelt and write it down. Tell them there are other spellings of ‘–tion’ but that this is the most common. Chant the letters in the word. Rub out a letter each time they chant but reinforce chanting every letter. Can they spell the word when all the letters are rubbed out? Choose another word and repeat the process.

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session.

This week BBC Bitesize are launching BBC Bitesize Daily which teachers will be looking closely at this week so this may become part of the work we set next week, feel free to have a look yourselves.
