TALKING TOGETHER

This week our Literacy activities are linked to ‘The Snowman’ movie. Talk about the story. Ask your child about the character of the boy, James, and discuss how he would have felt at different points in the story.

MUSIC

We have been making our own action sequences to accompany ‘Jingle Bell Rock’. Click the links below for the music and the activity sheet we used.

We have been working in teams to play a ‘Snowman Drive.’ It’s been great fun and very competitive. Here it is below in case you want to play at home with your family. It’s a good one for the Christmas holidays!!

Triangles

We have been working really hard with our multiplication calculations. We have been testing our friends through various games and this week we have been using calculators to check our answers. Do you have a calculator at home you could use to investigate some calculations of the 2, 5 or 10 times table?

Circles

This week we have been counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.

Can you recall either of these? Counting in 2’s to 20, 5’s to 50 and 10’s to 100?

Use your 100 square to help you.

Maths

In maths this week we have continued our work on measure. We have been using non-standard units to measure things around the class. Have a go measuring things at home using feet, hands and paces. Maybe you could measure all the rooms in your house to see which is the longest/shortest.
