    Reading-

    Remember to read at home for at least 20 minutes today. Please also tune into Beech Story Time at 9:45. This week we are going to explore how to use the Oxford Owl Resources to select a book. Then we are going to share a book together. We sent the link on Friday. However, if you need the link send again, please just ask.   

     

    Writing-

    Today we are going to turn the direct speech plan that you created yesterday into a comic. First watch Mr M’s video in which he models how this can be done.

    First, print out or make your own background. If you want to add extra detail, make a representation of Samuel Pepys house and add it to your background. Next print out or draw the characters involved in your conversation and stick on the background. Finally, add the speech bubbles and the sound bubbles that you created yesterday.

     

    Maths-

    Watch the learning video up to 3:54. Now try questions 1, 2 and 3 on the worksheet.

    Spr2.3.4 - Make equal groups - grouping on Vimeo

    Now watch the rest of the learning video and have a go at questions 4 and 5. If you find these a little bit trick, don’t worry! We are going to work to develop our understanding of division by grouping in tomorrow’s lesson.

    Writing-

    Today we are going to plan a very short conversation between Samuel Pepys and a fellow Londoner outside of his house on the night of The Great Fire.

    First of all, watch Mr M’s learning video:

    https://youtu.be/iNujJ15teaM

    Now use the ‘Direct Speech Planner’ to plan the conversation. Also add sound effects using the sound effect bubbles. 

     

    Maths-

    Lets spend some more time focusing on dividing by sharing. Mr M wants to introduce some specific vocabulary and some useful tools for using sharing to solve division problems. Watch Mr M’s learning video.

    https://youtu.be/2FNsL0UXJ6I

    Now use these techniques to solve these division problems.

    EXTENSION: Consider the following statement:

    All of the problems in today’s lesson had small dividends. Why is sharing an efficient method for problems with low dividends? Why is sharing not an efficient method for problems with large dividends?

    If you want to share your ideas, or find out what Mr M thinks, contact us via the class email address.

    We have added these MyMaths and PurpleMash activities to compete designed to help practise your 10 times tables.
