maths
We didn’t start subtraction last week, we decided to wait for a whole week to have a good go at it as the vision test took one of our lessons and the starter was on Friday. If you’re in school, we are PowerMath unit4 now, lesson 1. If you are not in school then I will match the Oak Academy videos as best as I can, and you will have to make it up when you come back.

On a plain piece of paper draw a character. In our story, it is a bumblee. What could you have on yours?
Now draw three noisy things that could keep him or her awake.
Can you use this plan to tell your story to an adult?
Tuesday

Today we are learning the /i-e/ split diagraph grapheme for the /igh/phoneme.
Can you make a sentence from those words? Remember where the letters sit on the line. Presentation is really important so that everyone can read your work.

For today’s lesson, I can send you the sheet that you need if you ask an adult to email me. We are going to be working together to look at which words in the story we can change, and which ones have to stay. This will give us a scaffold that we can use to write our own story tomorrow.
