Good morning boys and girls,
I hope that you all well and are staying safe.
As part of ‘mental Health Awareness Week’ I wanted to share with you a great story about worries. It has some lovely pictures with repetition and rhyme.

I enjoyed reading in the story that “An event can turn our world upside down and everybody worries and wears a long frown. Worrying is normal when so much has changed. It’s okay to worry when things don’t stay the same.”
I want you to take that message with you today.
It’s important to talk openly about what is going on and that the feelings we’re experience are being felt by a lot of people. By sharing and caring for each other we can try and make it a little better.
Here are today’s lessons:
Tuesday 19th May
Literacy: Handwriting ✏
Warm up
- I can practise joining to the letter ‘a.’
In your jotter, write your date, title and ‘I can’ neatly. Copy your join ‘ea’ and take care to join from the bottom of the letter e to the top of the letter a. Then bring your pencil round, up, down and flick.
FOCUS – A. Copy this pattern into your book. B. Copy the joined letters ‘ea’ for one line in your jotter, ‘ear’ for a second line in your jotter and ‘ead’ for a third line in your jotter.
Main Activity
- I can trace and write pattern, letters and words accurately
- I can copy and complete sentences in my neatest handwriting
EXTRA – Copy these words into your book. Take care with your hook when joining the letter r to e in ‘bread.’
EXTENSION – Copy the sentences into your jotter using your neatest handwriting. Choose a word from the box to complete each sentence.
Read and check over your work. 🔍

Maths: Multiplication
- I can build up the 3 times table

Warm up task: 3x Table Song
Get on your feet and learning the 3 times table using Professor Pipette’s fun song and movement routine.

Main Activity: 3 Times Table
- I can count on and back in 3’s accurately.
- I can recall my times tables facts for 3
Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do and how you should write your number sentence.
Look for a number clue in the text. Count on in sets of 3’s to find the answer. for example:
1a. 3 x 6 = 18
2a. 3 x 5 = 15
3a. Jane – 1 x 20 = 20 Ali 3 x 7 = 21
4a. 3 x [0] = 0 4b. 3 x [4] = 12
You can even use your 100-square to help you count on.
Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
