Hi Team R-B!

 

Happy Thursday, you have all been working so hard and I am so proud of each and every one of you! It was so lovely yesterday to speak to some of you on the phone. If I haven't been able to call you yet please keep sending me lots of emails because they really do make my day!

 

Here's today's learning! ...

 

PE: Jump Start Johnny

 

English: You have read so many fairy tales in the last couple of days, so before we get onto reading the story you will find these characters in. Can you create a mind map of the key features of a fairy tale e.g. a handsome prince?

 

Maths: 
Today we are going to be learning the about commutativity.
For example:
We know that 5 x 2 = 10 and
2 x 5 = 10
We also know that 10 divided by 5 = 2
and
10 divided by 2 = 5

But 10 x 5 isn't 2 and 5 divided by 2 isnt 10! 

 

a) 6 x 2 =

b) 5 x 3 =

c) 7 x 5 =

d) 8 x 4 =

e) 2 x 9 =

f) 5 x 4 =

g) 3 x 8 =

 

Spelling

Choose the correct words to make the sentence below correct. Then write them out in your neatest handwriting.

 

Topic:
Today we are going to start our first lesson of our new history unit called Significant People!
This term we will discover lots about a range of people who have had an impact on our world. This topic is all about history and history is the study of people and events in the past.
But in order to understand the people from the past, we first need to understand the past itself! For this reason we will explore a timeline of the past to help us see where significant people fit into history. Firstly, look at an image of a dinosaur, a shopping centre and a Tudor. Think about which came first? How do you know? 
Well ... we can tell which came first because we already have some knowledge about the past. In Year R we learnt about dinosaurs and know that these existed a very long time before humans. We also know that the Tudor period is before this modern, present day image of a shopping centre.
The past is so long and that so many things have happened, we can’t possibly record or consider it all. For that reason, historians (people who study history) often just consider the major world developments. These developments are often recorded on a time line. Do you remember creating time lines of your lives during year 1? In school we use a visual timetable of our school day, a time line of world history is just a longer, less detailed version!
Take a look at the world timeline below. Many events are discussed on the basis of whether they occurred ‘before Christ’ -  known as BC or ‘after Christ’ known as AD. The events are ordered chronologically, which means in order of when they happened. 
 Explain that some era went on so long, they spanned from BC to AD. 


Recorded task: Can you create your own history timeline to show some major eras with dates, you can either use events like the ones I have given below or you can add your own key events.

 

Helping at Home: Can you help your grown ups today by helping tidying up a room that isn't yours?

 

Happy Thursday!
