Don't forget that if you complete your compulsory and recommended activites on this page, you will have an activity on purple mash if you want to do more!

Here are three different texts for you to read and answer the questions. They are varying in levels of difficulty, 'The Big Turnip' is most accessible, 'A Scarecrow's Job' is most challenging and 'Clean the Classroom' is somewhere in the middle. You can have a go at all three or choose the one that is most appropriate to you. If you don't have a printer then you can read it on screen and answer the questions separately. Be aware that the answers are on the second page, so don't cheat!! 

Go to https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/alt-spellings-igh and use the phoneme spotter to spot alternative spellings for 'igh'.
