Spellings
word work worm world worth war warm towards warn warned Use Spelling Shed to practise these but also try writing them on paper. Use your favourite colours to write over the top to create rainbow writing! Write each word into a sentence. |
| Writing Tasks: |
| Today you should write your own royal adventure story – maybe use some of the ideas you heard in the poem yesterday. You can write in role as a king, queen, prince, princess, knight or servant – or just a visitor! Remember to use lots of adjectives and noun phrases to describe what it is like. |
| When you have completed your royal adventure story, you can design a cartoon strip to accompany your writing, or design a front cover for your story. If you are creating a cartoon strip then you will need to create a series of boxes big enough to draw a scene in. Can you add speech bubbles to show what your characters are saying? |
| Can you write a letter, postcard or email to your teacher? You may want to describe what you have been doing at home. You might want to tell you teacher about the things that they are missing about school. What are you looking forward to? |
| Maths tasks: |
| Today we would like you to write all of the number facts up to 20 e.g. 3 + 17 = 20, 17 + 3 = 20. Can they use these to write the inverse e.g. 20 - 3 = 17. |
| Write a number between 1 and 20 and think about how many ways you could make the number using addition. Is there a way to make sure you have all the different ways? Can you work systematically? Can you make 20 using 2 numbers? 3 numbers? What about 4 numbers? Use objects to help you when it gets more complicated – you could use pasta, counters, toys, Lego. Make sure you only have 20 objects in total. Write down all the ways you find to make 20. |
| First write one of the number bonds to or within 10 - e.g. 2 + 8 = 10 or 3 + 4 = 7. Can you use these facts to find out the addition facts up to 100? E.g. 20 + 80 = 100 and 30 + 40 = 70. Remember that 30 is 3 lots of 10. If you remember this, it will help you to use your number bonds to 10 to help you with number bonds to 100. |
| In Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem ‘Royal Tea’ he tells the reader that he paid £8.50 to visit Buckingham Palace. What coins could he have used to pay for his ticket? How many different ways can you represent this amount? Try using lots of different combinations of coins. |
