Good morning everyone!

Sending everyone a smile today and hoping the sun shines. Here’s the song we sometimes listen to first thing in the morning:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUNqsfFUwhY

I am wondering how everyone is getting on with learning from home. Please add a comment on the blog if you want to share your new learning experiences or message me directly on glow. You have a glow login on the front of your home learning package and can send me a message, login, find mail and message me at  ddataylor425@glow.sch.uk. We didn’t have a chance to try this out before the schools closed, so you will need to try this with a grown up.

Learning for today

Numeracy

Please play a game  or complete a sheet from your pack.

Alternatively if you are outside today you might be able to collect some natural materials to make a picture and then work out its value. Some of us managed to do this last week in school.

Each stone is worth 10, each twig, 5 and each leaf 2.

Mrs Taylor collected these items yesterday. The value of my picture is 10 + 5 +  2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 23.

I did this calculation by working out 4 x 2  = 8 and adding that to the 10 and 5.

I am sure you will be able to create some amazing pictures , (and practise your numeracy skills at the same time)

If you are unable to get out today , how about using 3 different items from the home , giving them a value , make a picture with them and then working out the value of your picture.

Try to calculate the value of this picture:

Answers later on today…………

The following site is offering free membership whilst the schools are off, but it seems to be really busy and I haven’t been able to get on the site myself to try out the games to tell you about them.
