Bonjour la classe !

Please remember to log any activities onto the Get Set link from last Wednesday, we’re not getting very far!

Let’s get ready to rumble with some spelling practice. Go onto Sumdog and play some of the spelling games for 10 minutes, there is a challenge including 10 words from the previous 3 weeks.

Literacy

Before Easter, I added this link to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I now want you to use the information from Chapter 7, to identify words that the author, Roald Dahl, has used for effect.  Some of you might have a hard copy of these pages in a polypocket, so you could use that to text-mark. This work links to two important skills:I can identify language the author has chosen to use to capture the reader’s interest and imagination and I can identify language the author has used to create images and build mood and tension.

Read along and listen to the chapter being read, and in your jotter, under the I can headings which are highlighted in red above, identify words and phrases that you think are effective and explain why.

Here is one example, –  Charlie sat nervously – the word nervously is effective because Charlie doesn’t know if this bar will have a golden ticket and he knows that it could be a real disappointment for everyone. Imagine how you would feel if you were Charlie.  Roald Dahl is building the mood and the tension. 

Another example, – the use of italics to emphasise thoughts and ideas.

Remember that you need to explain why you find the words and phrases effective, how did they make you feel, did they build the mood, like nervously? Please traffic light and comment on your learning.

Number

Go onto Sumdog and take part in the Competition today for at least 10 minutes, try to finish a level and achieve progress in your own skills. Well done to ML, PM and DB who are in the top 10 of the competition- please keep going, I don’t want you to lose your places👍🏻!

We have been revising different strategies for adding and subtracting, so today we will look at using number lines to calculate.

These videos are a great reminder of how to use an empty number line.

 

In your jotter –

date, I can add and subtract using an empty number line

then draw straight number lines and jump the place values to calculate the following sums. Check whether you are adding or taking away!!

1.   547 +  231  =
2.   826  –  305 =
3.  191  +  527 =
4.  445  +  655 =
5.  687   –  389 =
6.  330   –  147 =
7.  221  +  435 =
8.  1000 – 764  =
9.  509  + 299 =
10.  989  –  898 =

Remember to traffic light and comment on your number skills.

Start to create a poster/handy hints list for our mental maths strategies including some examples and build onto this when you get a good idea. We have done something similar in class, but now your skills should have developed so that you can explain more strategies. Here is one idea, but it doesn’t include any examples. I am sure that you can create some amazing and really helpful strategy work, by looking back at your home learning.

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday!  I’ll be back with you tomorrow!
