Thanks for your effort with last week’s homework!
This week we have worked very hard on some really
tricky half termly Maths and SPaG papers!
This week’s tasks…
 Science – Complete the attached sheet, filling in
the names of the various organs in the digestive
system. Can you challenge yourself by adding in
details about what each organ does?
 English – Have a go at writing some sentences
that use fronted adverbials at the start, using the
sheet to support you.
 Spellings – use the spelling list given to learn the
spelling rule and the examples of words so that
you will be able to use them in your independent
writing.

Fronted Adverbials
Below are a list of main clauses and some examples of adverbial
phrases. In your book, write the main clauses into full
sentences using an adverbial phrase at the start (making it a
fronted adverbial!) Use the examples to help you, but try to
come up with some of your own.
Remember capital letters, full stops and commas! Write 8
sentences into your book.
