Reading

Remember to carry on with your reading. You are all fantastic readers!

What books have you been reading at home?

What was your favourite book? Why did you enjoy it? What was it about? I would love to hear what books you have been reading. Send me an email and let me know.

Have you been listening to Story time with Nick?

Maths 

Year 1:  For our maths warm up let’s look at some fact families:

Your learning for today is all about fact families. We have practised switchers in the classroom so you know facts like this:

10 + 8 = 18

8 + 10 = 18

18 – 10 = 8

18 – 8 = 10

Using facts like this can you fill in the questions on the worksheet I’ve attached?

Remember to practise your times tables with Times Tables Rock Stars.

Blue group: Let’s start off by counting as we collect carrots in our car. Can you collect all 50?

Your learning today is sharing amounts. Count how many leaves or children you have first then share them equally between the dinosaurs or buses. Remember to say “one for you, one for you” and cross off the child or leaf when you’ve used it. Remember to write your numbers correctly.

Year 2:  Today you will be looking more closely at the multiplication symbol.

You need to answer the questions on the sheet. 

For questions 5a and 5b: you must look at the pictures to help you write the repeated addition number sentence, then you need to write the multiplication number sentence using the X symbol.

For questions 6a and 6b: you must say which calculation is the correct one.

For questions 7a and 7b: You need to draw a picture to show the multiplication stories, like when you drew the monsters.

For questions 8a and 8b: Complete the stem sentences by looking at the pictures and putting the correct numbers in the boxes.

Literacy

Today you are going to watch a story abut a man called Mr Gumpy. This book was written by John Burningham. He has written lots of children’s books. Can you find out some more books he has written? Perhaps you have some of his books at home or you have read some of his books before?

Mr Gumpy decides to go for a ride in his motor car. It's a nice day and the sun is shining, so off he goes. Watch Mr Gumpy’s Motor Car.

When you have finished watching, I would like you to read the sentences on the sheet and put the story events in the correct order. When you have done that draw your own pictures to show me what happens on Mr Gumpy’s drive.

Geography

Your Geography learning this week is building on learning we did in class about Australia. We have already learnt about extreme weather in Australia and you completed a weather journal a couple of weeks ago.

Think about your weather journal as you learn about the Outback today and what the weather is like there!

Click the link below to learn about The Northern Territory of Australia:

Once you have watched the video, see if you can answer the questions on your worksheet all about the Northern Territory. 

When you get to the challenge, that's when you need to think back to your weather diary.
