Week beginning Monday 31st January 2022

English

In English, we are continuing with our unit of work which is 'Stories set in an Imaginary Setting.'Our focus is - Where The Wild Things Are.

Listen to a version of this story on Youtube by clicking here.  

This week, we are making a plan to begin writing our own imaginary story, based on the book above.

Start to write down some ideas that you can bring back to class when you come back in. Think about' Where The wild Things Are'. You will need to change the main character. You can also change the mum and dog if you want to.  You will need to think of a different mode of transport, and some new characters instead of The Wild Things. Draw pictures alongside your ideas.

Maths

This week, we are starting a new unit on - Money.

Ask an adult if you can borrow some coins/notes. Look at their colour, shape and value. Put them in order from least to greatest amount.

Play a game - choose a selection of coins and see if you can add them together to find their total value. Remember different strategies for adding - place value grids, number lines and column addition. Draw representations to help you. 

Topmarks has some great money games - have a go at these.
