• Read Anansi stories from books, the list below or the internet and look for singular (e.g. the dog’s bone) and plural (e.g. the dogs’ bones) possessive apostrophes such as Anansi’s yams.
• Once you have found 5-10, look away from the story and put each one into a sentence of your own, not forgetting all the key punctuation.

Mathematics

Today’s work:

Year 4:  Use knowledge of times tables and place value to divide multiples of 10.

Year 3:  Revise doubling numbers to 100 using partitioning.

Table 2: Days of the week and months of the year.

Please work through the activity document files – either by looking at the screen and writing the answers down or by printing off the sheets. Follow the instructions carefully and make sure you look through the sheets before you begin, so you can find the answers, extra support materials and the different levels of task - Mild (easier) and Hot (harder). There may also be activities to work with somebody else on. If there is a PowerPoint Presentation, then watch this first, listening to the teaching at the same time. All the answers are provided.
