• In Maths we have looked at Place Value:
  Football Transfers newspapers, computer with internet access. Ask children to find out information about football players’ transfer fees in the paper or on the internet. They list up to ten prices in their learning logs. They underline one digit of each transfer fee and identify the value of the underlined digit using words or figures, e.g. £764 000 is seven hundred thousand pounds or £700 000.
• Globe Trotters atlases, computer with internet access. Investigate the distances between home and five cities they would really like to visit. Put the distances in order, starting with the highest. Think about which destinations would cost most to visit and why?
• Digit shuffle Ask children to write the last three digits of a phone number (their own or a friend’s). The three digits must be different. They write all the different 2-digit numbers that they can make with the digits. For each number, they partition the digits and give their values, e.g. 24 = 2 tens and 4 units = 20 + 4.
• The digit 3 Ask children to investigate how many numbers between 0 and 100 have the digit 3. They list all the numbers and say whether the digit 3 is a tens digit or a units digit (include the number 33 that has both). How many numbers do you think would have a different digit such as 7?

• Shape Work Continued
  Use a variety of material to make 3d models, solid and skeletal. You can either take a photo of them or bring them into school.
  Times Tables
• Most children wanted to improve their scores on our last Times Tables Test on 9th October. Most children should continue to learn their times tables facts.

• Visit the library again or find another book to read. Make sure to record the book’s title and author in the back of your Thinking Jotter. Perhaps you could make a character map or write a book review to encourage other children to read it?
Halloween’s Coming….
• Interview family and friends. Find out what types of things they did when they were children for Halloween. Can they remember any songs, rhymes or poems they were taught?
• Use the internet, to research Halloween. Think about – Why do we celebrate Halloween? Halloween Customs and Traditions, Halloween Superstitions and Fascinating Facts About Halloween. You could present your research as a power point or in your thinking jotter.
• Will you be guising at Halloween or perhaps going to a Halloween disco? Prepare your costume and make sure you can tell a joke, do a dance, sing a song or recite a poem.
