e.g ‘the lion runs’ instead of ‘the lion is running’ (which is present progressive),

‘the lion eats instead of the lion is eating’.

Avoid using –ing ending verbs as they are present progressive verbs. Write it as if it happens every day instead of just at that moment.

(Text below)

Vipers

L.O.: To use a range of reading skills to answer questions about a text

S.C.: I can find and explain the meaning of words

in context I can make inferences and justify them with

appropriate evidence from the text. I can predict what might happen from the

details given I can explain how meaning is enhanced

through choice of language. I can retrieve and record information and

I can summarise the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph.

I can independently use a full range of reading skills and my knowledge of texts to read a question, find the information and record my answer.

Task: Answer the questions below on the text ‘A Big Surprise’.

Measurements

L.O: To add lengths together.

S.C I can use column addition to

add two lengths together. I can regroup the digits if my

answer is 10 or more. I can convert measurements.

The children are very familiar with using column addition and partitioning, however they will need to be encouraged to use the correct language when doing so.

Regrouping digits

Ones column Tens column Hundreds column

Challenges below – you are expected to explain the answers in different

ways.

Top TipsMaths Column addition

Here is a complete example of column addition. Steps:

1. Place the digits into the correct columns (HTO).

2. ALWAYS start from the ones column and add the digits together. 3. As you can see, the answer is over 10 so we must regroup the ten ones from the ones

column to the tens column. It becomes one ten.

This ten is shown by marking 1 under the doorstep.

4. Now continue adding the tens and don’t forget to add the extra ten from the previous answer.

5. Regroup any 100s into the hundreds column to complete your answer. Remember to convert any measurements if needed!

Wider Curriculum Choice Grid

As well as completing a daily maths, English, spelling and reading task, we have put together a selection of different topic activities for you to complete at your leisure. We realise this is a busy time and so most of these do not require written work but instead are discussion and interaction based.

Let’s Get Physical!(PE)

Create an obstacle course in your garden/living room/hallway/driveway.

Time yourself to see how quickly you can complete it. Ask other family members to try it too and see who can complete it the

quickest. Make predictions about who you think will be the fastest for each different

course.

I can practise and refine movements showing strong body control.

I can change direction quickly.

Let’s Explore!(Geography)

Create a simple map of your garden or room in your house.

Make an 8 point compass to go with your map – make sure you mark

where North.

Hide specific objects around the room and give a family member directions

using the 8 points on your compass to see if they can find the objects.

I can use the eight points of a compass.

Let’s Investigate!(Science)

Research the different parts of a flower. (roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers)

Find out what each part does and create a job profile for each part. Include:

Name of the part A drawing What they do

I can identify and describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants: roots,

stem/trunk, leaves and flowers.

Let’s Compute!(Computing)

Create a computer program to achieve a goal!

Using lightbot : https://lightbot.com/flash.html

Use the directions to create a sequence of statements for the robot to achieve his goal.

These link together to make a program!

Let’s Write!(Handwriting)

Complete the handwriting sheets attached below.

Try copying some of the words out into normal notebook lines, keeping

the letters in the suitable place on the line.

Let’s Create!(Art & DT)

Make a model of a plant using materials you have at home.

Create labels for each part and then put it with your science job profiles you made to

educate the rest of your household.

Different variables can be changes to achieve different things. If your program does not work, you need to debug it and

look where it is going wrong.

I know that a program is a sequence of statements written in a programming

language

Don’t forget to join your letters to write in cursive script.

I can shape, form, model and construct using malleable and rigid materials.I can choose the most appropriate

material for purpose.
