Main Activity

I can skim and scan the text.
I can answer in a full sentence.

Task: Record your title and I can in your jotter. Read the text ‘from Fireplace to Flap’ carefully twice. Take time to think about what you have read from the dictionary. The word is written in red, parts of speech are in Italics (noun/ adjective/ verb/ adverb) and its meaning is given underneath.

🌶Complete the questions A. 1-8 (mild) in your jotter by filling in the gaps in the sentences. Choose the correct word from the dictionary page and record the sentence in your jotter. Make sure you don’t use the same words twice.

🌶🌶Complete B. 1-5 (spicy) by looking at the pictures of the flags then writing a full answer to the question in your jotter. Remember to write your quanswer (key words from the question to start your answer) and read it back to make sure it makes sense.

🌶🌶🌶Complete C. (Hot) in your jotter by designing a flag for our class. Please try to use a ruler and make sure you choose shapes, colours and symbols that have special meanings to everyone in our class. Make it as eye-catching as possible!

Read and check over your work then traffic light.🚦

Finisher: Reading. Log on to Oxford Owl using the login details from yesterday’s post via ‘My Class Login’ and choose a book of your choice. Listen to the book or read the book then take part in an activity. If your book has more content you may wish to read the first 10/ 15 pages only. 📖

Maths: Subtraction

I can count on to add 10/ count back to subtract 10
I can count back in steps of 10 to subtract multiples

Warm up task: Mental Maths. Record your title, I can and Q1-14 in your jotter. Remembers only the Tens column changes unless you have 9 or 0.

Q1. You have been given the number 473, can you count on to add 10 each time and give the next 4 numbers?

Q2. You have been given the number 627, can you count back to subtract 10 each time and give the next 4 numbers?

Q3-5 Count on to add 10 to 834, 305 and 192.

Q6–8. Count back to subtract 10 to 561, 220 and 806.

Q9-14. Write out the sum and count on to add multiples of 10 or count back to subtract multiples of ten.

Remember only the Tens column changes unless you see 9 or 0. Check over your answers. 🔍

Main activity: 3-digit subtraction

I can subtract a 1-digit number from a 3-digit number accurately
I can subtract multiples of 10 from a 3-digit number

Task A: Record your title, I can and Q1-14 in your jotter. Write out one sum at a time and calculate the answer by counting back in 1’s. When you takeaway a higher digit from the digit you have in the units you will need to count down to the tens below.

strategy: for -9 you can subtract 10 then add on 1. So 698-10=688 then +1 =689.

Remember, you can cover over the Hundreds to help you and focus on the tens and units only.

Task B: Record your title and Q1-12 in your jotter. Write out one sum at a time and calculate the answer by counting back in 10’s. You could use your fingers as sets of 10. When you takeaway a higher number that is more than your tens you will need to count down to the Hundreds below.

For e.g. 620-90=530 You could also use the strategy of subtracting 100 then add on 10.

Check over your answers and traffic light your work.🚦

MAKE A NEBULA IN A JAR

Wednesday 1 April. No, it’s not an April Fools’ – you can pull the stars down from the sky and make your own nebula in a jar! A wonderful, and crafty, ‘make-it-at-home’ to try inspired by the birthplaces of stars – nebulae. To make your own, with some adult supervision, you’ll need: small glass vial (or similar), cotton wool, coloured water (made with food colouring), and some glitter. Ideal for ages 7 and over, younger children will need a bit more help form an adult.
