Maths I am learning to represent numbers in different ways. 

Brain starter; finish off your number bonds to 10 and 20. Or you can recite them out loud. This helps you remember them as well! 

Follow the Power Point saved below. You might like to use some props like pasta, cubes, lego, pencils and paper or whatever you have at hand to represent numbers in different ways. 

The aim is to show/represent numbers in various ways, make sure you group the tens and show the ones. Once you have followed the PP, have a go at the reasoning, problem solving, and the varied fluency activities attached below.  

Have fun, let me know how you get on! 

 

English Can I create a story map? 

Here is a demonstration of how to do a story map with pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwUw2avvhic if you don’t know the Welsh folk tale The Golden Harp listen to it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxv3RSGGOtk by a Welsh story teller, so that the story map video makes sense. 

Please create your own story map of The Jolly Postman or Other People’s letters. Follow the tips below so you include as much interesting detail as possible. 

Step 1 – draw what happens in the story. Start at the beginning then using arrows lead on to what happens next, in the middle, after that and then finally at the end of the story.  
Draw characters and something about the letter they receive. 

Step 2 – Write about how you feel and/or the characters feel at each part of the story. For example, excited, scared, surprised to receive a letter etc 

Step 3 – Write down descriptive language (adjectives) that you would use to describe the parts of the story such as, describing the weather as bright and sunny, the forest is dark and damp the gingerbread house looked deliciously edible etc 

Step 4 – Use your story map to retell the story of The Jolly Postman or Other People’s Letters. You can add in details if when retelling the story you notice you might have missed something. 

Here is The Jolly Postman Video again to remind you of the story. https://vimeo.com/428785678 and the pdf is also attached below again. 

Take your time with this. You can continue with the Story Map for tomorrows English task.

Topic - Continue ….. I know the difference between a country, city, town and village.

Recap: What are the four countries of the UK? 

Today I would like you to think about the differences between countries, cities, towns and villages. 

Here are the names of some cities that you will have heard of and you may even have visited one or two; 

London 
Canterbury 
Edinburgh 
Liverpool 
Manchester 
 
Can you remember the capital cities of the four countries in the UK?  
 
Cities are often busy places with lots of people, attractions (shops, museums, famous land marks), buildings and transport (like cars, buses, trains). Some cities around the world, like London have underground trains. Cities are often described as ‘urban areas’ which means a lot of buildings and structures have been man made. Lots of people live in cities where as the ‘population’ (number of people) that live in towns and villages is usually less. A town is usually smaller than a city but larger than a village. Ramsgate, Margate and Broadtstairs are towns. Somewhere like Manston (near Ramsgate) or Wingham (near Canterbury) are villages. Villages are generally in ‘rural areas’ which means they are surrounded by countryside (like fields and forests) which means it’s very green and leafy and more has natural landscape. Villages don’t have lots of people, tall buildings or a lot of transport so they tend to be quieter.  

Your task today is to write about what it is like living where you live. Include which country (England) and which town or village you live in. Describe what living there is like; is it busy, quiet, near the seaside, in the countryside? Do you have shops and attractions near by and how do you travel around (walking, car, bike, bus or train – when it’s safe). Then describe a time you visited another place; a village (somewhere you do not live) or a city like Canterbury or London. You may have visited another country. Tell me about the place you visited there. Can you tell whether it was a city, village or town? Describe it’s features and what it felt like being there. 

Or 

Create a table with 4 headings; Country, City, Town and Village. 

Under each heading write words that you know describe each place. You may like to write the name of a place, this might make it easier to describe. 

E.g. 

Country	City	Town	Village
	Canterbury
	Big Cathedral
	Lots of restaurants
