Math 
Rapid Recap:  
Can you draw the array that matches the multiplication problem? (an array is a number of rows with the same number of each row. You can use physical items or draw dots or stars or hearts; it’s up to you). 

e.g.     3 x 8 =       ******** 
                              ********  
                              ********             

3 x 4 =    (so, 3 rows of 4) 
5 x 3 =    (so, 5 rows of 4) 
6 x 6 =    (so, 6 rows of 6) 
4 x 7 =     (so, 4 rows of 7) 

I am learning to use bar model 

A bar model is a useful way of problem solving all sorts of calculations. The bar model works similarly to part-part-whole model which the children are very familiar with. The bar model shows the whole number as one long bar and the other sections (below or sometimes above) indicate the parts that make up the whole. It is a way to understand known and unknown quantities in a number problem. 

15
5	5	5

5 + 5 + 5 = 15      or       3 x 5 = 15      (15 is made up of three 5s; 15 is the whole, the 5s are the parts) 

Using strips of paper, cubes, lego or whatever you have to hand, practically represent the quantities of a whole number in a bar model. Start with these whole numbers one at a time; 

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20 (use your knowledge of 2s, 5s, 10s, doubling or halving to make the parts for these whole numbers, as shown in the example above).  

Adults, this is a good video to help you understand bar model and its many uses

Topic Continued... I am learning to write a post card from Thanet (to someone who doesn’t live here) 

If you joined in with the English tasks last week, you will have written a postcard to a fairy tale character. 
Today and tomorrow I would like you to design and create a post card from the town where you live. You will need to draw a picture or take a photograph yourself (ask to borrow you adults' phone or camera) of a place or scene that you think is beautiful or interesting and use it for your postcard picture. 

On the other side of the picture you will need to divide the card approximately in half with a line. On the left will be your writing about how wonderful the place you are sending the postcard from is. On the right will be the address of the person to whom you are sending the postcard to (made up or real, depending on whether you actually would like to post it). 

A post card is a short version of a letter. You do not have a lot of space so think really carefully about what you want to say. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Just write about the best bits on a postcard. 

For example

Hello, it’s lovely here in Ramsgate.   The beach has golden sand but the water is cold!  I do swim in the sea and I like to hire paddle boards  to go in the sea. You should come to visit,  you’d love it! Lots of Love Miss Aitken
