Good morning everyone,
Doesn’t the sunshine put a spring in your step?! Have you brushed your teeth and made your bed? Great! Then let’s get started. 🙂
Here are yesterday’s Maths answers that you can mark. 👍🏼
Did you answer most of them correctly? Well done to you! 🙂
Here are your tasks for today…
Wednesday 6th May
Literacy
Warm up task: Spelling practise
- I can read, write and order the letters in my spelling words accurately.
Word list: some, were, come, little, one, when, what, there, their, people. (revise)
Task: Record your date and title. Practise your spelling words in your jotter. You can choose an Activity from your grid. This could be: rainbow spelling, bubble words, ABC words (alphabetical order), curly words, word shapes, capital and lower case words or simply write out 4x in your jotter. Check over your work!
Main Activity – Comprehension
- I can skim and scan the text.
- I can answer in a full sentence.
🌶 A. Skim and scan the text then answer these questions to show factual recall.
🌶🌶 B. Skim and scan the text then answer these extended questions. Think about the evidence you have read and what it suggests,
🌶🌶🌶 C. Draw your own picture of a honeybee and label it carefully using the correct vocabulary.
Read and check over your work then traffic light.🚦
Finisher
Take part in 15 minutes of Sumdog Literacy. You have been set this week’s spelling word list.⭐
Well done to last week’s SUPER SPELLERS: Emily, Callum, Sonny, Isla, Hollie, Rebekah, Ryan and Robbie. Keep up the hard work! ⭐
Maths: Subtraction
- I can subtract in sets of 10 and then subtract or add a small number
Warm up task: Subtracting 11, 21, 9, 19.
Q1-4 is based on our strategy from yesterday, subtracting to the nearest set of 10 (rounding) then subtracting or adding on a small number (adjusting). for example:
1.A. 38-11=? 38-10=28 28-1=27
(10 is the closest number to 11)
Follow the same steps to complete: 1. Subtract 11, 2. Subtract 21, 3. Subtract 9 and 4. Subtract 19.
You can even use your number square to help you.
Check over your answers. 🔍
Main activity: Subtraction to 100, 2-digit numbers with bridging.
Complete Q1-3 in your jotter. Read the question carefully and think about your strategy. Use subtraction to bridge to the nearest ten and then adjust by subtracting or adding a small number to work out your answer. for example:
Q1. a) 42-28= 40-30-10
(Move 2 from the 42 to the 28 to make a helpful number of 30)
Remember you can switch your units around to make a friendly/ helpful number – this is easier for us to work with. You could also use your strategy of rounding to the nearest 10 and then subtract or add the smaller number. Use the way that works best for you! 👍🏼
Check over your answers and traffic light your work.🚦
