Handwriting

I can practise the formation of letters with a downward stroke

It's time to practise our handwriting skills.

Watch our Clever Pickles video and then join in the activity.

It's your turn to practise your letter formation on the handwriting lines or the handwriting lines with cats.

Be mindful of your starting point when writing the letter /j/.

Once you have written the long date, practise writing your upper and lower case letters. Remember to also practise writing the words with the letter /j/ in them. Turn these interesting words into an interesting alliteration sentence.

Finish off with a row of the lower case letter /j/ and transform them into jiggling jellyfish!

Writing

I can understand point of view

This week we have talked about point of view.

We have also practised listening to how people share their point of view by providing reasons for their opinion.

Think of an animal you love. Why do you love them so much?

Today your task is to list all the reasons why you love this animal so much.

Write a sentence using 2 or 3 of these reasons to explain your point of view.

Maths

TENS Game - Card Piles

Pick your level.

Play for 5 - 10 minutes before your maths task.

You will need:

  • Deck of cards (remove picture cards)

  • Counters (lego, marbles, dried pasta, etc.)

  • Whiteboard and marker (or paper and a pencil)

  • A partner to play the game with you

1 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use 2 piles of cards, 1 red and 1 black with numbers 1 to 5.

Take 1 card from each pile and use the visuals on the card to determine the total of the two cards.

2 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use 2 piles of cards, 1 red and 1 black with numbers 1 to 10.

Turn 1 card from each pile and write the number on top of the card on a whiteboard.

Try to visualise the pattern on the cards to add them together.

Turn cards back to check answer. Write number sentence to match.

3 Star TENS Challenge.mov

Use two piles of cards. 1 black and 1 red.

Turn 2 cards over and identify the larger number. Count back to the number on the smaller card to find the answer.

Your partner checks and repeats. Write the number sentence to match.

4 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use one deck of cards and counters. Play in pairs. Each person takes a card from the top of pile and doubles the number.

The player with the highest double gets a counter.

Record the doubles on a whiteboard. Repeat and after 10 minutes the player with the most counters is the winner.

5 Star TENS Challenge.MOV

Use one deck and split cards into 2 piles. Each player takes a card from their pile and places it face up on the table at the same time. Players then add the two cards together and double the total.

Call out the answer as soon as you know it. The player who calls out the answer first explains their strategy and takes a counter. The winner is the player with the most counters.

I can use chance vocabulary to explain the likelihood of an event happening

Watch the video to learn more about the vocabulary we use when talking about 'chance'.
