Homework 10: Fractions and Spelling!
As our Science homework is now finished, you will have a combination of subjects each
week related to what we are doing in class.
There are many ways in which you can access the assignments. There is a copy on the main
school website, the class site on the intranet pages, the year 6 class OneNote page on Office
365 and you could download them in school to a memory stick. If necessary, you can have a
paper version printed for you in school.
You will find the answers by:

using Office 365, or hand in your paper version of the answer sheet to your teachers.

Task 2: Spelling!
Homophones
Sometimes, the English language is just odd! You would think that with thousands of letter
combinations we would be able to come up with a different word for everything! Despite
this, some words are used for several situations; these sound identical but are spelled
differently.
These words are called homophones.
An example is "there", "their", "they're". All three words sound the same, but have
completely different meanings.
In this task, you will need to identify some common homophones, learn to spell them
correctly and use them in some sentences.
For example: They completed their homework in plenty of time.
Homophones
What are the homophones for the following words?
1. Sea
2. Bear…
3. Dear…
4. Fare…
5. Hear…
6. Hour…
7. Knight…
8. No…
9. One…
10. Son…
11. Wait…
12. Way…
13. Their
Can you create a sentence using one of the homophones in a set correctly?
There will be a competition for the most dramatic sentence. Please indicate which
sentence you would like to enter in the competition!
