Mastering The Maths

Have a go at the challenge below…

It might help to print out the stars or write the numbers on small pieces of paper, that way you can try out different ways of solving the problem. Stick your bits of paper into your journal to record the pattern. 

Your book should look like this. (I have used different numbers in my example)

Maths Challenge (Optional task)

Write your number patterns into your red book.

In our school lesson we will use this game to practise unscrambling tricky words. You can play it here

Music – BBC Ten Pieces

Get moving and create a cool table top dance sequence to music!

The first clip explains how composer Gabriel Prokofiev created his unique ‘Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra’ and shows him performing the piece with an orchestra.

In the second clip you can learn a cool table top dance sequence inspired by this piece of music. Learn some moves with dancer and choreographer Jordan Douglas and create your own sequence inspired by turntables!

And a note for next week…

In Maths we will be teaching money. It would be really helpful if you could look down the back of the sofa or in the bottom of old handbags for some coins to use. We know a lot of people are not using cash at the moment so thought we would just warn you and see if yo could dig some out. If not perhaps you could print or draw the different coins and cut them out.

Watch this different version of Jack and the Beanstalk.  

This version has some lovely language in it.  The author has thought really carefully  about the words he has used.  This helps make it really interesting to listen to.

I have picked some of the words from the story, see if you can find the words that have a similar meaning.  This is a great activity for building up your vocabulary.

Thurs 4th – we will use this game as part of the lesson. You can play it here

Science

In this lesson, we will be investigating which materials can be blown down by creating our own wind using a hairdryer. We will be experimenting with different types of materials which have different weights. We will be creating our structures to experiment with in the next lesson, ‘Will the wall I’ve built withstand strong winds?’. You will need playdough, twigs or sticks, hay or straw, sugar cubes, lego or plastic bricks and lastly glue or sticky tape. If you do not have these things, you can watch me model this experiment. At the end please answer the questions and then draw the table into your book and sort the list of materials into heavy and light.

Making Number Patterns

Have a look at the number chart below.

How many different ways can you figure out the missing numbers on the number chart?                    

Discuss the different ways they have come up with, for example, counting on by one, counting backwards by one, looking at the vertical patterns in the numbers (increasing by 10 every time, the ones remain the same). 

These ideas are shown below in ‘Let’s Learn’.

Now work your way through 2,3 and 4.

Now have a go at the guided practice and the mind workout. Then complete page 17 in your work book.

Maths Challenge (optional task)

Try this number pattern challenge. What numbers go in the _____ ? Now describe the pattern of each to an adult? E.g. for question 1 ‘The pattern is going down in steps of 1’.

Here is the work book page if you don’t have your maths workbook at home

History

In this lesson, we will continue to learn about some of the ways in which toys have changed over time. We will learn how modern technology has affected the ways in which children play. We will then look at some examples of electronic and non-electronic games. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil.

Watch the video of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Whilst it is playing or afterwards see if you can draw a quick story map.  You could do this on your whiteboard or a piece of paper.  Here is one that someone else has done.

Today we are going to focus on your reading.  Please read one of the Jack and the Beanstalk stories.  

Please read the simple version to an adult and answer the questions at the end of the story.  You can answer these in your red book – you don’t need to copy out the questions just write the answers in a sentence.  

If you are reading blue, green, orange or turquoise books at school then please read the challenging version to an adult.

When you have finished you could draw a picture in the space at the top on the page in your book.

Don’t forget about reading eggs. I can see that lots of you are working hard on these lessons, well done. I have set you all a reading task on reading eggs to be completed by Friday. Your logins are in your pack or you can email the office or us and we can remind you. Good luck.

Good morning everyone. Hope you have all had a nice weekend. Below is our timetable for the week. Look forward to seeing lots of you for our sessions today.

Maths– Finding Out How Much More Live 9.30am

Look at the picture below…

It will help to model the cookies with counters. Investigate different ways to find the answer. Does it help to line up the ones? 

Point out that when finding how much more, we are looking for what is different between the two numbers. Therefore, the unmatched cookies show the difference.

ACTIVITY TIME:

Using a number square is a great way of helping us find more or less than a number. Have a look at the picture below to explain…

Now practice finding more or less than a number. You could use your 100 square from school or use this interactive one.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares

Ask an adult to click on a number and ask you some questions such as ‘what is one more than 26? 4 more than 32? 2 less than 24?’  you must splat the correct number. 

Now complete the guided practice activity and then do pages 15 -16 in your Workbook. 

Maths Challenge Time!

Now try making the difference between the numbers large.

Here are the workbook pages for those who don’t have their book at home. You could just talk about the answers with your grown up or record the answers on paper if you don’t have a printer.

Art (week 1)

We love the wonderful illustrations in the Rapunzel and Little Red texts we have been using for our literacy over the last few weeks. They were created by Bethan Woollvin, who also wrote the stories. Today we will be having a go at making our own drawings inspired by her simple, distinctive style.

Click on the link below to find a step-by-step guide to drawing a wolf created by Bethan herself…

https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/gallery/2016/mar/28/how-to-draw-a-badly-disguised-wolf-bethan-woolvin

Why not try having a go at drawing some other fairy-tale characters in Bethan’s style? You might find it easiest to start with the round face shape, and don’t forget to add those big, distinctive eyes!
