Mathematics
This week we are going to be working on Place Value on MyMaths. Remember to work carefully through the slides on each lesson, first, then have a go at all the practise questions, before attempting the tasks.
The tasks for the whole week are all up now, to allow you to choose when to complete each set. Please let me know of any problems and we’ll try and sort them! Please don’t worry and just do your best. Please see Tuesday’s plans for logging in details.
Other Activities
Other activities you may choose to do today, could be:
- Geography: Have a walk around your local area – what do you notice? List positives and negatives. Discuss with your family what could be improved? Create a poster to suggest improvements that could be made within the local area and why it’s important that we all play our part. Include colours and make it eye catching to engage the target audience.
- Develop your online safety learning with the Computing activity below – this is the 4th
- Science: Read and discuss the following information about keeping safe, happy and healthy in the sun, called Be Smart in the Sun at https://www.healthforkids.co.uk/staying-healthy/be-smart-in-the-sun/ (If the page is split in half, click for the KIDS section on the left of the page). Also, view the clip and read the information Tips for Staying Safe in the Sun at https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/sun-safety-for-kids. Now discuss the guidance about keeping safe in the sun with an adult and create a true and false quiz for your friends and family using the information you have read. For example: 1. You should apply sun cream every 4 hours – true or false? 2. You should apply sun cream 20minutes before going out into the sun – true or false?
