LC: To give evidenced reasons why materials should be used for specific purposes.
Can we use our observational skills to investigate the properties of different materials in order to recommend materials for particular functions depending on these properties ?
Go to Seesaw to complete your task.
LC: To spell words with the /i:/sound spelt ‘ei’ (usually after ‘c’ – for example, ceiling).
The grapheme ‘ei’ can represent lots of different phonemes.
It can also be very hard to know whether to use ‘ei’ or ‘ie’. Sometimes people use the rule ‘i’ before ‘e’ except after ‘c’, but this isn’t sufficient.
Let's read these words and sort them according to whether they include ‘ie’ or ‘ei’. 
Now let's focus on the words with ‘ei’. What do you notice about the sound that the ‘ei’ is representing?
What is the same about all the words in the ceiling group?
Here are some generalisations:
- ‘C’ is usually followed by ‘ei’ making the long /i:/ sound (ceiling).
- The other most common sound is the long /eɪ/ sound (vein).
Now, pick a few words and practice the spelling. Then, you can test your partners spellings!
