Good morning everyone! Hope you are well and had an enjoyable weekend.
Let’s start off with this today:
Remember to keep tuning in to Joe Wicks daily too!!!
Numeracy
For a Number Talk today, let’s think about what we already know for number bonds to 10 – we have number pairs that make 10 – eg 3+7, 4+6. With this in mind, see how many number pairs you can make for 20 – eg 13+7.
If you want to challenge yourself, see which pairs you can make for 30 or even 40!
Next we are going to look at Number pairs with one or two digit numbers to make the next multiple of 10 – eg 22+___ = 30. Try the task attached below:
add to next multiple of 10 – for Mon 8th June

See if you can find any other interesting facts on caring for the environment that you can read.
Choose one thing you could do to help the environment in school and/or at home. Make a poster to encourage people to do it! Think about the classroom and the school as a whole as well as at home. Remember to include a catchy title/slogan, facts/information and pictures.
Spelling – You have a list of spelling words included in your pack – remember to practise these regularly and use the spelling task cards to help!

Think back to our work on SIMILIES – A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things. The simile is usually in a phrase that begins with the words “as” or “like.” – for example:
As big as an elephant
As cunning as a fox
Soar like an eagle
Have eyes like a hawk
Complete the task below, which has some sentence starters for similies that you might use to compare yourself to something:
IDL
Mr Turner and I had planned to discuss the referendum on independence for Scotland and the resulting ‘No’ vote with you all, but we obviously now cannot. Someone at home might be able to help explain this, and how people in the country were asked to decide if Scotland should stay in the United Kingdom or not. Since all of this we have now had Brexit, which I’m sure you have heard something about! Have a search online or ask someone at home so you can maybe get a better understanding of this. Try to note down in your own words (or with the help of an adult), what you think BREXIT means.
Assessment: Ask someone at home to test you on all your knowledge of our Great Britain topic. If you can, write down the questions and answers.
Art
We have all had to spend a lot of time at home just now. Compare your house to a cottage for example. Can you make a model of your house and a cottage? Use whatever materials you have at home. There’s an example of a homemade house below:
Thank you for continuing to work hard, I miss you all very much!
