English: LO: to research scripts.

This week we will be researching, reading and creating scripts. Scripts are a written record of things that are or will be said. Scripts are used by actors in movies to tell them what to say, but also in things like cartoons where a voice actor provides a voice for a character. At school, we use scripts when we carry out events like school plays.

Today, I would like you to think back to when you have seen a script and write down all of the features of a script you can think of. I would like you to try weekly task 6 (creating your own manga comic) so that by the end of the week you can create a script to go with your comic.

Maths: LO: to multiply 3 & 4 digit numbers.

At the very start of this academic year we looked at multiplying 3 and 4 digit numbers using an array (the grid method). Today I would like you to practise this and see if you can remember how to do it. There is a picture below which shows a worked example. If you are a Year 3, multiply 3 digit numbers. If you are a Year 4, or a Year 3 who wants a tricky challenge, multiply 4-digit numbers.

Don’t forget: Start off by partitioning your number. Place the numbers into the grid. Multiply each number. Then finally, add all of the numbers you have just worked out in order to get the answer.

If you are struggling, start off by using the grid method to solve 2-digit multiplication questions until you become more confident.

Oak Class Thursday 7th May

Phonics: Today I would like you to work on all the sounds we have been learning this term. Use the picture below and see which ones you can remember, and which ones you might need to work on a bit more.

Maths: Use the website https://nrich.maths.org/14600. Try Ages 5-7, Homemade Maths and select Encounters for 2. I liked the look of that one.Think of the language you are using and have some fun!

Japan: What can you find out about Sumo? Is it a sport? What happens in Sumo? Why is it so popular in Japan? This is a Google search focus to try out your research skills! Can you make a poster to show other people what sumo is? Have fun over the Bank Holiday weekend and we will be back on Monday!

Stay Safe and Stay Well.

Spellings – double the consonant before adding ing to words that have a short vowel follows by a consonant at the end (like stop=stopping, nod=nodding).

Try these and put into sentences:

Trap, chop, beg, map, rub

English – look at the Year 2 common exception words. Can you spot any patterns between some of the words? Can you group words that sound the same? How many different ways could you group the words?

Maths – bean bag bucket activity (see photo below).

Theme – this week we will be learning all about some of the culture, traditions and language in Japan. Below is a suggested list of activities to choose from, maybe pick one a day to explore.

which language do they speak in Japan?
Can you learn to say “hello”, “goodbye” and “thank you” in Japanese?
Can you count to 10 in Japanese?
Can you explore Japanese writing?
Can you write your name in Japanese?
What is the national sport of Japan? Can you research and practise some of the actions?
What food is traditionally eaten in Japan?
Do people in Japan have any traditional good luck symbols? Find out what a “Maneki Neko” is and draw or make your own.

Thank you, Mrs Keeler.

You have almost made it to a long weekend! As it is a bank holiday tomorrow, I would love to see some photos of your wonderful work on this thread today!
Spellings: ous ending words-
Can an adult choose 10 of the words you have collected this week ending ous and test you on these?
Arithmetic: Firstly, I would like you to have a go at multiplying mixed number fractions by a whole number (see below). This is the same strategy, you just have to convert the fraction into an improper fraction first before multiplying the numerator. Then, I have uploaded the next arithmetic test onto the class webpage, or you could get an adult to write down some multiplying fractions style questions to test you this week. The answers for the arithmetic test will also be up on the class webpage.
2 2/5 x 4=
3 2/9 x 8=
4 1/12 x 4=
5 x 3 4/5=

Grammar: We have been looking at parenthesis for the last few days. Today, I would like you to have a go at writing a few of your own sentences, which use parenthesis. You could write these about a character, setting or event from your reading book, or you could write some sentences, using the information you have found out about Japan.

English: Today I would like you to imagine that you are the mayor of your town and it is your job to write and deliver a speech to celebrate the end of the war on VE Day 1945. You could look up speeches from the actual day to help you write yours.
Think carefully about what you would want to say to the people: would you need to thank particular people for their help for example?
When you have written your speech, why not perform it to your family and ask for their feedback- did you speak clearly and slowly, how did your speech make them feel?

Maths:
For today’s challenge you will need an adult to play with and you will also need a number line from 1-20. You could simply draw one on a scrap of paper, or I have linked the challenge above, where you can print off a simple number line.

The adult chooses two numbers in this grid and either multiplies or divides them. They then mark the answer to the calculation on the number line. You then choose two numbers and either × or ÷ , and mark that number in a different colour on the number line. If the answer is too big or too small to be marked on the number line, the player misses a go. The winner is the person to get four marks in a row with none of their opponent’s marks in between.
What good ways do you have of winning the game?
Does it matter if you go first or second?
How are you deciding which number to aim for next?
Can you find a winning strategy?
(I have attached the poster for this problem at the bottom of the post).

Topic: Your last Japan culture and tradition activity of the week, could you look at something different about the culture and tradition? Maybe you could give origami a try if you haven’t already? I have attached a few examples on this post, but there are many other origami models online you could have a go at!

Take care and stay safe,
Miss Coates.

Cedar Class learning for 7th May 2020

Spelling: Can you remember the spelling rule you have been learning this week? Get someone at home to test your memory of it, and then get them to pick out 10 words from your word list and see if you can spell them correctly!

Arithmetic: This week we looked at adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator. Get someone to test you with 3 questions on each to see how well you can now do this.

English: LO: to use clear instructions.

Today I would like you to test just how clear you instructions you created yesterday were. I would like you to read your written instructions to someone in your home and see if they can create an origami swan from you words. You can show them any pictures you left included in your instructions, but can’t add any extra words. Could they follow what you said and make a swan? If not, why not? Make your instructions more clear if you need to and try again.

Maths: LO: to solve problems and puzzles.

How do you play?
You’ll need a partner to play with.
You’ll also need a 1 to 6 dice and a grid like the attached picture.

Take turns with your partner to throw the dice and draw that number of dots in one of the boxes on the grid – you can draw in one of the boxes your partner has already put some dots in. Put all of your dots in one of the boxes. You can’t split them up and you can’t have more than six dots in a box. When a box is full (it has 6 in), you could put a tick in the corner like in the second picture.

Keep going until there are three ticks in a row or column or diagonal. The winner is the person who puts the last tick.

Now, can you change the game to make your own version?

Oak Class Wednesday 6th May

Phonics: use the sound ear in the words fear and near. Say the words, write them down. Now use the words in a sentence. Can you write the sentence down?

Maths: Use the site https://nrich.maths.org/14588. Try the Long Creatures activity. You could collect things from outside. Can you sort and then measure your objects using a ruler or tape measure?

Japan: Can you find out what Sushi is? What do you do with it? What is it made out from? Can you make your own Sushi sandwiches for lunch today? How did you make them? What did you put inside?

Can you draw pictures and write instructions how you made your Sushi sandwich?

Happy eating!

Maple Class Home Learning for Wednesday 6th May 2020

Spellings – when an action word ends with a consonant followed by a ‘y’, change the ‘y’ to an i before adding es (like empty=empties, copy=copies).

Try these and put into sentences:

Hurry, fly, worry, dirty, apply

English – go on a Year 2 common exception word list hunt. How many of these words can you find at home? Can you find them in books? On labels? Ask someone else to write some of the words down and hide them for you, can you find them all?

Maths – Snakes and ladders puzzle (see photo below).
