Today is about self-assessing; how have you got on with your learning this week?
This week we are using The Fist Of Five to assess our learning (five fingers mean you have fully understood your task and feel confident with the skill, four fingers means you are nearly there perhaps just a little more practise needed, three fingers you needed some support but then were able to do it, two fingers you needed support to do most of it, one finger you needed support and would still need support in the future with this type of task)
You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put little lines coming out of it to represent your fingers.
Home Learning Grid
This week we were focusing on our topic of ‘Space’.
What different things will you see in the sky at night that you don’t see during the day?
Answer: moon and stars.
Can anyone remember what was special about the sun?

Answer: Neil Armstrong
Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin followed closely after Neil Armstrong.
Did you find out the name of the rocket that took them to the moon?

Literacy
How did you get on with your story? Using tickled pink, highlight the conjunctions you used (and, because). Also find any describing words (adjectives) and tickle pink those too. If you used a capital letter and a full stop at the start and end of your sentence draw a pink circle around them. Using green for growth ask an adult to underline only two words that you have spelled incorrectly, and then underneath write the two words correctly three times.
Did anyone find the mistakes that I had made in my story?
One sunny day a gigantic green spaceship landed in my Garden. a silly alien jumpd out ov the spaceship and banged on my door The alien wanted to come ni my house For tea. I gave the alien a tasty pizza to eat. then he went bak to his spaceship and flew away
I had forgotten some rules of capital letters and full stops. I even managed to spell 2 sight words wrong! Oops!
Numeracy
Don’t forget that the Sumdog challenge is still live until 3pm today, it’s not too late to earn all your coins. I had fun playing along with sumdog yesterday but I wasn’t able to beat any scores in the football goal scoring game! My favourite game was the racing car game!
Here are your answers for the numeracy questions;
| 3 + 4 = 7 |
7 – 2= 5 |
10 – 3=7 |
6 + 3= 9 |
4 + 4= 8 |
6 – 1= 5 |
8 – 8 =0 |
| 5 – 3 = 2 |
5+5 =10 |
7 + 0 =7 |
9 – 0 =9 |
10 – 8=2 |
7 + 1 =8 |
5 + 3 =8 |
Or these calculations are a bit more challenging:
| 13+4=17 |
17–2=15 |
20–3=17 |
6+13=19 |
4+14=18 |
16–1=15 |
18–8=10 |
| 15–3=12 |
5+15=20 |
17+0=17 |
19–0=19 |
20–8=12 |
17+1=18 |
15+3=18 |
When completing your number talks for the ten frame or the rekenrek did you use any of these strategies,
- Counting in ones
- Five wise (seeing a pattern of five) and counting on
- Counting in twos
- Did you complete a number story e.g. 5 + 2 = 7
For the number talks dot pattern did you use any of these strategies,
- See a dice pattern
- Spot a double
- Count in twos
Well done everyone who completed some of these tasks this week, also remember the importance of play and the life skills you can develop from helping out around the house.
I will be posting again on Monday with your week 2 grid.
Thanks again for all the comments on the blog and e-mails with your work or questions – it is lovely to hear from you all.
