- As the start of our ‘All Creatures Great and Small’ focus, the next two week’s English work is all about the spiders and the famous Anansi.
- Today I would like you to find out about the spider Anansi. Use books or the internet to discover where they originated, where the word ‘Anansi’ comes from and anything else you can.
- Create a small poster showing what you have learnt.
Mathematics
This week we are working on Multiplication and Division 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 today are:
Year 3 and Year 4: Multiplying by 10 and 100 and 3/4/6 Times Tables

Please let me know of any problems and we’ll try and sort them! Please don’t worry and just do your best.
