Maths:

Brain workout – count in 2's, 5's and 10's
Then, how many number bonds to 10 and 20 can you write down in 1 minute?

We are going to do some time learning today. Try to remember back to when we learnt the language; o'clock, hour, minute and half past. Have a go at the clock worksheets attached below or draw your own clocks carefully and write the time you have breakfast, TV time, exercise time, reading time, lunch, learning time, story time and bedtime underneath each clock that you draw.

Remember the short hand --> is the hour hand (o'clock), the l o n g hand ----> is the minute hand. 

English and Read Write Inc

Mrs Smart’s group 

Today you have the tale of The Gingerbread man to read. You might have your own copy at home, but I have attached a version with comprehension questions below. There are three different versions of the story. I would like you to choose the one that has 3 *** a the bottom of each page. It is the last version in the document. You may like to number your answers and write them on a separate sheet of paper or in a learning book so that you can write more or longer sentences.

Topic
This week we are going to travel back in time, not just to look at history but also to revisit out topic 'Playing Past and Present' to see what you remember and to answer any of those questions we set at the beginning of the topic.

Use real toys at home or pictures to date when this type of toy was first created e.g. teddy bears, dolls, lego. Research the toys on the Internet or ask older family members if they are inherited toys. I would love to see a photo or poster of what you find out. You could create a timeline of toys on paper or on a computer or line up the toys you research with labels stating the date and place they were invented in. Have fun Historians!
