I hope you had fun with your doubles yesterday. Can you set a 2 minute timer and write down as many doubles calculations as you can. Ready Steady Go…
Today we are going to look at adding two 2 digit numbers, using partitioning.
WRITING
I hope you thought of lots of great ideas to describe this imagine using your senses. Did you imagine yourself being there? I think I’d prefer to be there than in rainy Ayrshire at the moment!
Your task today is to write down as many adjectives (describing words) as you can to describe this picture. Think about your senses to help with this. This will help with our task tomorrow when we write a few sentences about what you see. I have started a grid for you to add to.

FRACTIONS
I got some really great work from you all last week, working on your multiplication and division facts. Today we are going to look at multiplication and division fact family triangles before we head back to look at finding tenths of quantities tomorrow.
Multiplication and Division Fact Triangles are a good way of understanding Fact Familys. This helps you learn the relationship between multiplication and division of numbers.
Fact family shows sets of related numbers.
The largest number is always at the top of the triangle.
The multiplication sign is always at the bottom.
Two dividing signs are always at the side.
This fact family tells us
30 ÷ 10 = 3
30 ÷ 3 = 10
10 x 3 = 30
3 x 10 = 30
Each triangle gives us 4 facts. Each answer is the number that is not used out of the three in the calculation.
Parents
To practise multiplication, cover the largest number with your thumb and ask your child to say both multiplication facts.
To practice division, show the largest number and cover-up one of the others.
e.g. for the above triangle, cover the 30 and ask your child to tell you what 3 x 10 is and 10 x 3 is or cover the 10 or 3 and ask them what 30 ÷ 3 is and 30 ÷ 10 is.
Your task today is to make your own fact family triangles of the 10 times table. You can complete the following worksheet or you can give your self a challenge by creating these on your own using your answers from Fridays task, drawing triangles in your jotter. You should have 12 triangles in total when you are finished.
CIRCLES
Today we are going to look at doubles. When you double a number you add the same quantity again.
If I say double 2, your calculation would be 2 + 2 =
Have a look through this power point. You can count the spots on the lady birds back to help you find the answer to each doubles question.
Now complete the task below. Just draw the lady birds into your jotter, drawing the same amount of dots on the other side and write the calculation below.
Keep practising your doubles. It is really good to know them off by heart when it comes to doing calculations in your head.
Below is a fun game you can go on and play to help you learn your doubles.

WRITING
Have a look at this picture. What can you see? Can you imagine yourself standing here. Think of your 5 senses. What do you think you could see, hear, taste, feel, smell? Have a little brainstorm and tell someone at home your ideas.
Have a great day everyone. Every day we are one step closer to seeing your smiley faces 🙂
Good morning everyone! Remember our call at 11am this morning. We’ll try and cover our money talk that we missed yesterday and this weeks Word Aware.

Elkonin boxes and common words
READING
As a follow on to our work on literal questions, we are now going to be looking at inferential questions. Click on the link below for your reading lesson.
WORD AWARE
Have a wee look over our Word aware words before our call today as we will be talking about our new word.
MATHS
We have discussed what we know about money and how it is used. Today we are going to become more familiar with the coins we use. Try to have one of each coin to use (remember we have made up bags of plastic coins to be collected from school if you need them).
You will need 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (£2 if you have it but they are harder to find!)
Your first task will help you to recognise each coin. You don’t need to print this out. You can write the coin values and match your coins up. Keep working on this until you know all of your coins.
Coin Recognition Activity Sheet
The following task explores the value of each coin. Each coin is worth a different amount. Put your coins in order from the lowest value to the highest. (Again, the printed worksheet is not needed; you can lay your coins out in order or draw round them in order on a piece of paper)
Good morning everyone! It’s the 1st of February today; the shortest month of the year. Do you know how many days are in February this year?
Our daily live lesson is at 11am again. Check out my maths post below to see what we’ll be talking about today.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
Mrs Webb and I would like you to complete a short questionnaire each day to let us know how you are feeling. As part of the questionnaire, you will see that we have chosen a Pupil of the Day. It is always nice to try and make others feel good so each day we want you to say something nice about our Pupil of the Day. Your compliments will all be put together and sent to whoever has been chosen for that day. If you are the pupil of the day, you can say something you like about yourself or something you are proud about yourself. You will be asked to enter your name at the top of the questionnaire but Mrs Webb and I are the only people who will see your responses and the compliments to the pupil of the day will not have your name beside them. We have some lovely photos of some of you doing your work that will be great to use to make your Pupil of the Day certificate with all the lovely compliments on it. If you haven’t sent us any photos, please send one and copy both Mrs Webb and I in. The certificates will be sent to parents’ email accounts and not posted publicly. Click on the Daily Feelings link below to access the questionnaire.
READING
You all have new books allocated to your Bug Club accounts. Today your task is to read your book, make sure you are spotting all your common words and then answer the bug questions on each page.
Ladybirds- Zip and Zap at the Zoo
Glow-worms- King Pip and the Troll
Spiders- Sarah’s Tap Shoes
SPELLING
Our new phoneme this week is ‘ue’. Click on the link below for your phonics lesson.
MATHS
We are beginning a new topic on money today. I would like you to think about what you know about money. What is it used for? Why do we need it? What does it look like? Get a blank piece of paper and write/draw everything you know about money. (Parents please allow your child to work independently on this, without giving them ideas, so I have a clear idea of what they know)
We will be discussing this on our call today but for those who are unable to join us, you can send me your money work by email. I’m looking forward to hearing all of your ideas.
For our money tasks, you will need at least one of each coin. You can use real coins if you have them but we have made up wee bags of plastic coins that can be collected from the school if you need them.
