Monday 30th March 2020

Morning everyone!




Maths starter - get those numeral cards out and turn them all face down. Turn one over and, as quickly as you can, say the number needed to add to it to make 10. For example, if you turn over the number 6 - you need to shout out '4!' because 6 + 4 = 10. Turn that card back over and choose another one. Keep going until you get really quick!

Maths - these activities build upon activities that we have completed in school on counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. There are 3 different tasks to choose from (or you can try all 3 if you like!). In Maths we often choose which activity we want to do depending upon how confident we feel. For this task, the difference between the tasks is shown on the bottom left of the page where you will see either a red, blue or orange star.

This may help you choose:
Red star = 1 star challenge - a simpler task if you are feeling unsure
Blue star = 2 star challenge - an activity to choose if you are feeling confident
Orange star = 3 star challenge - an activity if you are ready for more of a challenge.
I have also included a picture of the answers so you could check them yourselves - no peeking first though!

I've worked out how to attach a link to documents (see, we're all learning!). So all of the activities above can be viewed by clicking onto the link below. Hoping that may make it easier for some of you going forward.

Literacy - Try to access one of the Read Write Inc You Tube sessions a day, maybe even two a day. Here's a reminder of which ones you should be looking for.

Set 1 - Red group
Set 2 - Green, Purple and Pink groups (could watch Set 1 also to review).
Set 3 - Orange, Yellow, Blue and Grey groups (could also watch Set 2 to review).


We've talked lots about the houses in London in 1666 being too close together but here's one that is quite the opposite!
Here is a possible story starter for the picture - "Standing on his porch, Ben drew breath. As the clean, cool air filled his lungs, a smile spread across his face …"

With this picture in mind, look at each of the simple sentences below. Can you add a subordinate clause to extend them? Remember, you’ll need to use a conjunction like ‘and’ or ‘so’ or ‘but’. 

1) A small wave rippled across the tranquil water ...
(eg. A small wave rippled across the tranquil water and the gentle breeze cooled the skin on Ben's face.)

2) It had been raining all morning ...
(eg. It had been raining all morning but now the soft rays of the sun started to dry the puddles that had formed on the cool rock.)

3) Ben enjoyed living here ...

4) He had grown tired of living in the busy city ...

Write the sentences you create in full, using your best handwriting, in your exercise books.

Additional task 

Using the picture above, think about how Ben manages to live in a place like this. Where does he get his food from? How does he travel around? How far away does the nearest person live?

Can you draw your perfect house? Think not only about what it looks like and what is inside, but where it is.

See you tomorrow!

Mrs Good
