Today we were exploring new reading books and retrieving information from them.
We focused on scanning for keywords to help us find specific information.
We also pushed our heart rate to the maximum in PE. We got a heart rate monitor for our ipads, but it wasn’t 100% accurate. Get one at home and try it yourself!
Homework – to be in for Wednesday 27th September at latest.
Homework week beginning 18th September
Maths
We are practicing our number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. We are also exploring new number bonds including decimal number bonds.
Complete the following
6 + _ = 10 2 + _ = 20 30 + _ = 100
8 + _ = 10 _ + 14 = 20 51 + _ = 100
_ + 9 = 10 16 + _ = 20 25 + _ = 100
3 + _ = 10 8 + _ = 20 49 + _ = 100
Extra challenge questions
290 + _ = 1,000 0.1 + _ = 1.0 0.25 + _ = 1.0
350 + _ = 1,000 0.4 + _ = 1.0 0.45 + _ = 1.0
893 + _ = 1,000 1.6 + _ = 2.0 0.87 + _ = 1.0
If you want even more practice, make up 8 number bond sums with the answer 0.10
There are also lots of excellent maths games on our blog from the last two weeks – play some of them.
Language
We have learned about a new way to improve our writing. It is called VCOP – it stands for Vocabulary, connectives, openers, punctuation. We include as many of these as possible to improve our writing.
For homework you have to write a 100 word story. You have already designed a monster in class. You need to write a story, start to finish total = 100 words about “my monster on holiday”. Targets are 5 wow words, 2 connectives, 2 openers, 10 punctuation.
Remember connectives like but, however, although, then, until. Openers can be a time something happened or an adverb eg suddenly, excitedly etc.
HWB
Food diary – to help us identify where we can make healthy choices in our diet, we will be keeping a food diary! I will give children a food diary tomorrow to keep track of their food for the next week.
