care         thank         slow

joy           mercy        quick

Now create as many words as you can with the suffixes '_ness',  '_less',  '_ful',  '_ly'

Which words require changes to the spelling of the core word? For example, 'mercy'.

Divide strips of paper as before, into halves, thirds, fifths and sixths. Colour in one part of each strip. Order the strips in order of size, from the smallest to the largest fraction. It should look like an upside down fraction wall!

Order these fractions in descending order ( from largest to smallest) : 3/8,  5/8,  1/8,  8/8,  7/8

Remember to add about something funny that happened!
