Maths:
Choose 3 colours. You may not use any other colours. Now colour the baubles but make sure that each one is different. (You may use each colour more than once on any bauble if you wish.) How many different designs can you make? Use bauble sheet given to you from Mrs Pollock
Continue to spend time learning their tables. It would be helpful if the children could have their times tables “at their fingertips”. The times tables help the children in so many areas of maths. Each child in the class knows what tables they should be working on. Between now and Christmas we will be having table tests every week. Here are some ideas to help your child learn their tables:
TGT (Team Game Tournament) children can make the cards at home.
Chant/Sing/Write the tables out

Read through the lyrics to this well-known Christmas song
and then answer the questions underneath.
On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!
Questions
1) How many presents were given by my true love all together?
2) How many birds were sent by my true love?
3) How many people did my true love send to entertain me?
4) How many wings are there in the song?
5) How many legs are there in the song?
6) If I have to share all of my presents with one other person, how many presents would we each have?
Remember: show all your working out on a separate piece of paper!
