Good morning boys and girls,

I hope that you all had a lovely long weekend for the May holiday and enjoyed the sunshine. I want you to know that I miss seeing your faces everyday, and hearing your jokes and stories that make me laugh. Please stay safe! 😃

Here are today’s lessons:

Tuesday 26th May

Literacy: Handwriting ✏ 

 

Warm up

• I can practise joining to the letter ‘r.’

In your jotter, write your date, title and ‘I can’ neatly. Copy your join ‘er’ and the sentence. Take care to keep these letters halfway up on the line. When you bring your pencil down, up and round for ‘r’ this hook will later help you to join the letter to other letters.

FOCUS – A. Copy this pattern into your book. B. Copy the joined letters ‘er’ for one line in your jotter, ‘ir’ for a second line in your jotter and ‘ur’ 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 jotter. Take care with your hook when joining the letter r to d for ‘bird’ and r to t in ‘hurt.’

EXTENSION – Copy the sentences into your jotter using your neatest handwriting. Remember to include your capital letters, clear finger spaces, commas at the end of the line and your exclamation mark.

Read and check over your work. 🔍

Maths: Multiplication✏

So far we have covered the 2, 10, 5, 3 and 4 times tables. Last Thursday before the May holiday we had a go at the 3, 4 and 5 times tables task. Remember you can use your number square as practised in class or use your number track to help too.

• I can build up my times tables
• I can use repeated addition to work out table facts (counting on in 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and 10’s)

Warm up task:  3, 4 and 5 times tables✏

Practise counting out loud in steps of 3’s, 4’s and 5’s for your times tables. You could shout it out in: a loud voice, a quiet whispering voice, a squeaky voice, a robot voice or a funny voice.

0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36.

0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48.

0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.

Or you can practise your times tables on Supermovers:

Main Activity: 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables✏

• I can count on and back in steps accurately.
• I can recall my times tables facts for 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.

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 numbers to find the answer. For example:

1a.  4 x 4 = 16

2a.  5 x 9 = 45

3a. 2 x 8 =  16

4a.  5 x 6 = 30

You can use your number tracks or use your 100-square to help you count on in steps of either 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s or 10’s.

Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
