– it’s National Superhero Day!
No matter if your favourite heroes are real or fictional it is a day to be thankful for them. No matter if they wear masks, capes, scrubs or uniforms, all people who are doing important jobs at this time deserve a well- deserved shout out for whatever they do. Who do you think of as a real life superhero?
Spelling – compare the superheroes using ier and iest
e.g. Iron Man is funnier than Batman, but Hulk is the funniest. Use words from yesterday’s extension work and here are a few others to help.
For your main task, I thought you might like to create your own superhero comic strip, either in your jotter or on a pc, using some cool features. I can create a superhero comic strip
Here is an example of a cartoon strip
Here is a link to some handy hints for writing your superhero cartoon strip.
Remember that you could be the superhero staying at home, washing your hands and helping to keep others safe or a family member might be a keyworker doing their work to keep things going!
Make your comic clear, colourful and have fun!!
Number
As a starter today, let’s focus on mental strategies for addition.
Play this game, go to addition section and select the level that you feel most confident with – obviously, you don’t pick a level which is super easy and leave it at that!! You keep your brain working, think about and apply the skills that you have been practising.

One of the strategies we use to add and subtract is the knowledge that 9 and 11 can be used as 10 and adjusted.
56 + 9 = 56 + 10 = 66 then adjust 66 – 1= 65
56 + 11 = 56 + 10 = 66 then adjust 66 + 1 = 67
We can then use this strategy for other numbers near to multiples of 10 e.g. 147 + 29 147 + 30 = 177 then 177 -1= 176
£ 859 – 51 = 859 – 50 = 809 then -1 = £808
Number Date and I can add and subtract using adjusting
Remember to put in £ signs when you need them!
Finish off with some mental subtraction to find the superheroes. https://www.mathplayground.com/superhero_subtraction.html
I will be back on the blog for all my P4/5 superheroes tomorrow, so until then ……
