Here are today’s lessons:

Tuesday 28th April 

Literacy: Handwriting

Warm up Task

• I can practise my horizontal join from the letter o.

Record your date, title and I can statement in your jotter. Copy the ‘oa’ join and the sentence ‘A goat in a boat’ neatly into your jotter.

FOCUS

A. Copy the pattern into your jotter.

B. Copy one row of ‘oa’ letters into your jotter neatly, one row of ‘ow’ letters and one row of ‘oe’ letters as shown in the text.

Remember in the horizontal join the letters hook half way up the line and the letters do not touch each other. 😃 

Main Activity

• I can trace and write pattern, letters, words and sentences in my neatest handwriting.

Extra –  Copy these words into your jotter. Remember to take a finger space between each word and take care with tall letters: t, l, b, h and d.

Extension – Copy these sentences into your jotter. Underline the oa sound in each word. 📝 

Finisher: Reading – Log into Oxford Owl by clicking on ‘MyClassLogin’ at the top in pink and enter woodp4 with password as the password.

Click on MyBookshelf and search for a book of your choice. Look at the front cover and try to read the first page – if you can it’s a good book for you. Listen to the story or read the story and try to complete one short activity if you wish. If your book has smaller print or more content you can read 10 pages. 📚 

 

Maths: Addition

• I can identify the number with the largest H, T or U.

Warm up task: Click on the link below to enter Coconut Ordering on Topmarks. Can you order the numbers to 100 or 1000? starting with the smallest to largest?

Remember to look carefully at the Tens when the Hundreds are the same or look at the Units when the Hundreds and the Tens columns are the same.

Play this game for 15 minutes to revise your learning in Ordering numbers.

Main activity: 3-digit formal addition

• I can formally add 3 digit numbers by 3 digit numbers with carrying.

Task: Record your title and I can in your jotter. Take your time to write sum 1-12 out, one sum at a time with neat digits written underneath each other.

Remember the addition + symbol is wrote at the left. This will help you keep the HTU in the correct columns. Use a ruler to draw your answer lines. Calculate each sum.

REMINDER: If the two numbers in a place value column add up to a number greater than 9, you must carry a digit to the left column.

Addition example:

What is 343 + 329?

Start from the Units column: 3 + 9 = 12, place a 2 in the Units column and carry 1 (1 set of Ten) to the Tens column by placing a 1 below.

In the tens column: 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 (Don’t forget to add what you carry over)

In the hundreds column: 3 + 3 = 6

The finished sum = 672

You can use your fingers carefully to help you count on in each column accurately. 👍🏼 

 

 

Check over your answers and traffic light your work.🚦

I will post the correct answers and you can be the teacher and self-assess your work – remember to check back!

Finisher: Play 15 minutes of Sumdog. Remember we only have until Friday in our weekly challenge against Primary 4/5.🏆
