Today is the last day of school but home learning will continue Monday - Wednesday next week with some fun activities!
Maths - Catch up lesson
Today I have left free so that you can go back to, finish off or catch up on any tasks so far that you feel need more attention.
If you are fully caught up please practice your counting in steps of 2s, 5s and 10s, number bonds to 10 and 20, and practice adding and subtracting small quantities quickly.
English - continue …. Can I plan a non-fiction text/story? (Spy/investigation linked to Ada’s intrigue over smell?)
Use Ada’s curiosity and inquisitive nature to inspire you to write a story about something you are (or were once) really interested in. It should be something that you do not know a lot about or it could be a complete mystery or a crime!
Ada smells an awful stink and is determined to find out where it’s coming from. The story follows her investigations, experiments, questions and mistakes. She never actually finds out the answer but she doesn’t let that stop her learning more!
Put yourself in Ada’s shoes and think of something that you would be interested enough in working hard to understand such as why do the sea tides come high and go low on the beach each day? Who ate the last ice lolly from the freezer (no one is admitting to it!), are there really aliens in outer space?
You can start with a spider diagram to get you started. Then perhaps draw your own story map (or use one of the templates attached) to plan your story (beginning, middle and end), then write your story!
You have the rest of the week to do this task! Enjoy, young writers and investigators!

Topic - Knowledge Organiser checklist
Take a look at the Topic knowledge organiser for this term (where we are). If you are able to print it off you can highlight or tick the things that you feel confident in or you can choose to go back and revisit the learning to be sure you have retained it.
Next week will be the end of topic Quiz!! We love a quiz. You might like to arrange a Zoom meeting with other families to complete the quiz together (Just an idea).
