Numberjacks is another video maths series which introduces concepts to children in an easy to understand way.  Below is the link to sharing fairly which is early division.  Once you’ve watched the video (or part of it), have a go at sharing objects out between yourself and someone else at home.  This links to the Numberblocks videos and activities I shared last week.

Here are some word problems you can all try.  Remember in class we have used objects or we have drawn a picture to help us solve a problem.  Hexagons and Octagons could then try to record it as a number sentence with the division symbol.

Before you get started can you name any of the planets we learned about?  How many could you remember?  Can you remember the order they are in from the Sun?

Next watch this short, fun video about the Sun and the planets.

Choose one of the planets or the Sun and find out a few facts or key words about it.  The video has lots of facts or you could do your own research in a book or online.

Now use your facts to make a poster or factfile about your planet.  Make the title big and bold, space your facts out and remember a picture or 2 as they can add lots of information and look good.

We would love to see a picture of your poster or factfile.

Poppies

Make up your own subtracting stories and discuss these.
Example: There were 6 oranges in the fruit bowl and 4 were eaten. How many are left?
Lay out small objects like Lego or Numicon shapes to show the sum.
Show the commutative law
Example: 6-4=2 and 6-2=4
When you subtract you need to take away the number of objects or cover the correct number.

Hello everyone!

We continue to miss you all and hope to see you very soon.  Hopefully, the weather will be beautiful this week and we can all get out and enjoy the sun!

‘igh’ – high, thigh, light, bright etc…..

Can you add anymore of your own?

Write down a list of ‘igh’ words.  SAY, COVER, WRITE AND CHECK as you go.

Use some ‘igh’ words in sentences.

Later in the week get someone to test you on your ‘igh’ words.

Write out the alphabet in capitals and lowercase, remember to write neatly forming each letter correctly.

EpicPhonicsWritingCaptions

Read each of the phrases.  Get someone at home to read them to you so that you can write them out without looking.  Remember to sound out carefully and use finger spaces.

Sunflowers, Daisies and Buttercups

Revision of all common words you have been taught so far.  Can you read and write them confidently?? Can you write them correctly into a sentence independently?

Stage 1 common words tick and colour

Stage 2 common words Term 1 to 3 Tick and Colour

Letters and Sounds are uploading daily phonics lessons from today.  The youtube channel can be found below.

The direct link for today’s lesson focussing on ‘ai’ is below (reception lesson 1).  This 20 minute lesson recaps other phonemes (sounds) and diagraphs (2 letter sounds) as well.

The direct link for today’s lesson focussing on ‘ay’ is below (year 1 lesson 1).

After watching the video you could draw a flower and write a different ‘ai’ or ‘ay’ word on each petal.  You could do this with a rainbow or rain clouds or anything else you like to draw.

We learned about the 2 and 10 times tables last term.  Skip counting in 2s and 10s is a useful strategy to help us remember the tables.  You could try skip counting in other numbers like 3, 4 and 5.  Can you build the 3, 4 or 5 times tables?  Can you see any number patterns that help you?

Counting in 2s looks like this. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10….  The numbers are all even (end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8).  You jump over a number and say the next one.

Counting in 10s looks like this. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50….The numbers are all even and end in 0. The number of tens goes up by 1 each time.

Below are links to some of the Numberblocks episodes on BBC iplayer. Start at 4.16 which is about times tables.  The following episodes explore sharing out and division.  Remember times tables (multiplying) makes a bigger number, division makes a smaller number as you share out the objects into groups.  Have a go at sharing out objects with people at home.  You could collect 8 toys and share them out.  If there are 4 people in your house how many toys would each person get?  Remember it has to be fair so everyone gets an equal amount.

1. Think about sentence for these words. You could write the sentences.

2. Think about the sounds in the words e.g  y –  ou  – r              r – ou – n -d

3. Can you write them out without looking

Here’s one of our favourite stories in class!!

1. Read along to the Audio Book
2. Try drawing and colouring Supertato or why don’t you try to plan a healthy menu with lots of fruit and vegetables.
3. There are more Supertato books, see if you can read/listen to some more.
