Morning everyone. Hope you are all well and managed to get out over the weekend either into your garden or for a safe walk.
We will start with Joe Wicks this morning.

Today for maths we are going to be learning to work out distance travelled. In the folder, Before Break, there is a formula that you need to read over and understand before you can start. I will be here for any questions you have.

There are then some calculations to be done using the formula. Please use the same layout they have used in the examples.

L.I. to calculate distance using speed and time.

S.C. I can use the formula

After you have completed that, there are some 12 / 24 hr timetabling to work on.

Okay once you have done ALL the maths set for today there is a comprehension about the Sun. The weather has been so good that I thought it was relevant. Remember to answer in sentences with all the detail you can find.

Phonics

Our new sound to focus on this week is ‘w’

These are some of our learning targets for this sound that we will be working on for the rest of the week.

Success Criteria

I can say the sound to match the letter shape.

I know that w is a red, stretchy, lip sound.

I can blend this sound with other sounds to say a word I recognise.

How many words beginning with w can you think of? Go on a search around your house for inspiration.

Here is the jolly jingle just for fun.

Can you make the letter? In class we would use play doh or loose parts. What materials can you find in your house the make the shape of the letter? Remember you can take pictures and email them to me using the school email address.

Numeracy and Maths

Daily 10

Let’s challenge ourselves with 10 questions this week instead of 5. I will include a mixture of calculations which we have been working on since the start of the year.

4 + 4 =         6 – 6 =        5 + 6=       3 – 2 =      5 – 0 =

5 + 5 =         10 – 3 =      3 – 1 =       6 + 6 =      10 – 2 =

Good luck! Remember to talk about the strategies or tools which you used to help you solve the calculation.

Money

Our new maths focus for the start of this term is money. Included in your pack are lots of worksheets which will help you get to grips with coin values, ordering money, adding money and a few other fun activities.

As a starter for this topic Natwest are holding a MoneySense Monday lesson on Facebook live. You will have to ask an adult to help you find the page. This goes live from 10.00 to 10.30am and the focus is on notes and coins.

If you want to explore their website there are a number of fun interactive games for you to play.

https://natwest.mymoneysense.com/home/

Hopefully by now, you all have access to your sumdog passwords and user names, I have set a skills practise game called ‘Money 1’ in our class section for you to challenge yourself with.

I have also set a very simple game on EducationCity called Money Box Sorting which will help you recognise and identify different coins by looking at their colour. There is a also a fun colouring activity in your pack which will also help you work on this skill. Below is a link in case you haven’t got your pack yet.

coin detective  

Topic

Our brand new topic for this term will be centred around ‘The Woodland’.

As a starter activity for this afternoon, have a think about what you know already about the woodland or forest. Think about trees, plants and animals. What would you like to learn? I would love to hear your suggestions.. why not have an adult take a picture of your ideas and email it into the school email address. Your work could include questions, statements, pictures… be as creative as you like!

Good luck with all your learning activities for today. I will be back tomorrow with more tasks for you.

Mrs Stevenson
