 Watch RTE2 Home School Hub: 11am - 12noon.
 Revision of this Week’s Work:

Spell Well: Week 31 pgs. 64. Revise All.

 Give Yourself a Mini-Test! After all of your hard work learning your spellings throughout the week...why not
give yourself a little test to see how well you’ve done?!
1. Close Spell Well!
2. Write down as many of the spellings you can think of from this week’s list... even if you can only remember
4 or 5...you’re doing well! Then...when you can’t think of any more...
3. Open Spell Well and Check your spellings against the list in your book on p64.
4. How well did you do? Write down your Score. Give yourself a smiley face - if you’ve done your best!
5. Re-learn any spellings you found difficult, then do your corrections! Well done!

Tables: Revise ALL of your Add 2 and Subtract 2 Tables in pairs, as explained earlier in the week. You could try giving
yourself a mini Tables Test too by writing down all your Add 2 and Subtract 2 Tables, in pairs, the way you learned
them! Have a go & do your best! Begin with: 0+2=2 ... 2-2=0, 1+2=3 ... 3-2=1, 2+2=4 ... 4-2=2 etc. Keep going as far
as you can. Well done! Have you noticed the pattern of these Table pairs? Subtraction is the opposite of Addition
and Addition is the opposite of Subtraction!
