Work for 20th April to 24th April 2020

Hey everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter Break! 

I'll be posting work weekly for the children to do. If you read this post to the end, hopefully it will make sense to everyone! :) 

You'll find links at the end of this post to access the work each day!

We had a great number of parents and children engaging with Seesaw and uploading photos and videos of your work and various different activities you've been doing. I've loved reading messages about what you are getting up to! <3

As with the work assigned before Easter, there is no pressure to complete all or any of this work.

I would recommend that children try do some Numeracy and Literacy (Maths and English) everyday, if possible. Revision of tables and reading books for pleasure, would also be very beneficial! There are lots of links on the school website to Maths Games and Online Readers.

I've included plenty of work, while some children might do it all, other children might prefer to pick what they want to do out of it, whatever suits! 

I know it might be a bit tricky as we aren't using worksheets or our usual books, I've tried to organise work that can be written into your copies easily! I know there were copies given out to children in the stationary packs, but you can continue to use the copy you brought home initially, so everything is kept together!

An outline of the week's work is below.
Each day is in a different blog post (also linked below).

Any queries, let me know on Seesaw!!

Long Multiplication Revision

In maths this week, the children will be revising their 6, 7, 8 and 9 times tables.

They will also be doing a small bit of revision of Long Multiplication.

When we finished up Long Multiplication, the whole class understood the concept and were getting their sums correct. They may have forgotten the method since, so I’m providing resources to help jog their memories!

For this week, the priority is revising the method, therefore, I would recommend the children have their Multiplication Tables Books open to help them find the correct answers, if stuck!

Once they recall the Long Multiplication Method, then they can focus on trying them without the help of their Tables Books!
