Maths - 

keep practicing those tables! - sing songs off the internet, chant them, teach your parent or carer how to 'Roll your Numbers' for 2s, 10s and 5s....., pop onto TT Rock Stars....

Week beginning 9th November '20

Maths

Continue to learn times tables via TT Rockstars, chanting, paper methods & being asked questions involving multiplication and division.  You can sing songs for the tables too, from You-tube (with parental supervision)  You could try Rolling Numbers, from the founder of TT Rockstars. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgNvw_fXUzlLpKzY2Iu3K3khUaEleYICf 

We've been looking at fraction this week, finding halves, quarters etc. of numbers, by dividing.  Have a go at the sheet you've brought home.

Spellings

This week we are concentrating on words with the prefixes 'mis' and 're'.  Look at the root word and think about what it means.  Then add on the prefix and discuss how the meaning of the word changes.

You can use the 'Look, Cover, Write, Check, Repeat' method.  You can also air write them in front of you going from the left to the right hand side of your body (crossing the mid-line).  Why not use ICT games, for a change? https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/lcwc/index.html

Maths

This week we'd like the children to complete their Maths sheet, if possible, or practice sharing amounts into 2s, 5s and 10s then recording what they have done as division calculations, if the sheet is too hard.

We will not be doing a tables test this week.

As with previous weeks, please go onto TT Rockstars.

We have given the children spellings to learn, but they will not be tested until after 1/2 term.

See w.e. 25th Sept re TT Rockstars

To practice the tables that they need for their weekly tests, the children need to play on Garage or Arena. Any other game will give them any table up to 12 x 12.  The children also need to remember that they will get questions both ways round e.g. 4 x 2 =, or 2 x 4 = .

This week the children also have a paper sheet practicing their 4 x table.

Spellings:

This week the children have some of the high frequency words which they are expected to be able to read and write by the end of the year.  These should have been stuck in their yellow homework books, or will be loose in their reading records, if they forgot it on Friday.
