WWriting

LLearning Intention: We are learning to write an entertaining story.

A fable is a kind of story that teaches a lesson.

Fables are usually entertaining tales featuring animals that talk and behave like people

because they have human qualities.

For example, “The Three Little Pigs” teaches that hard work is important: The house built by

the hardest-working pig is the only one that survives the wolf’s attacks.

The Lion and the Mouse

Fable Example

One day, a lion was asleep in the wood. A mouse came along. The mouse didn’t see the lion and ran across the lion’s nose.

The lion woke up. He was cross with the mouse. “You woke me up!” he roared. The mouse was scared. “Please let me go!” said the mouse. “If you let me go, I will repay you one day!” “You are funny!” said the lion. “How could a mouse help a lion?” The lion laughed and let the mouse go home.

Some days later, the lion was caught in a hunter’s net. He couldn’t get out. The lion roared in anger.

The mouse heard the lion and ran to the net. The mouse saw the lion and had an idea. She chewed on the net until it broke and the lion fell out. The lion was free. “Even a mouse can help a lion!” said the mouse. From that day, the mouse and the lion became friends.

A kindness is never wasted.

Task: Write a short story using a moral and two animals as the main characters.

Mathematics:FFOCUS: Multiplication

Learning Intention: We are learning to select mental and informal written strategies, to multiply a two -digit number by a one digit number.

Success Criteria: I can:

Use different strategies to solve different multiplication problems. Calculate answers by multiplying the tens and then the units.

Knowing different multiplication strategies can make solving

multiplication problems easier because you can choose the strategy that

works for you.

Different Mental and Informal Written Strategies for Multiplication

Using known number factsExample: 13 x 9

We can use the known fact 10 x 9 = 90, because 10 is close to 13. Then add three more

groups of 9 to 90.90 + (9+9+9) = 117

Using doubling and repeated doubling to multiply by 2, 4 and 8

Example: 23 x 423 x 2 ---------------> = 46 ---------------> = 92

double 23 double 46(23 x 2) (23x4)

Using the relationship between

multiplication facts

Multiplying the tens and then the

ones Factorising the larger number

Using the area model

Maths Activity

Multiplying the tens and then the ones strategy

This strategy focuses on splitting the two-digit number into tens and ones and then multiplying both by the one-digit number. Next is to add the products together to

get your answer.

A term used when we break down numbers into their place values is partitioning.

Your Tasks:

1. Read the steps on the next page and explore making sounds by traveling and using your hands and feet.

2. Create a sequence to show the different moves that you learnt.

LLearning Intention: We are learning to explore movement and body percussion in relation to beat and rhythm.

Step 1: Use your hands to make sounds, (for example clapping, clicking, slapping on chest, stomach, thighs).

Step 2: Use your feet to make sounds. Explore toe, heel and whole-foot sounds.

Step 3: Hands and feet: Organise the actions that you just explored into a sequence, which can be repeated. Explore different combinations of actions.

Step 4: Travelling hands and feet: Explore forwards, backwards or sideways steps, with hand sounds.

Step 5: Combine the hands and feet sequence and travelling hands and feet sequence.

LLearning Intention: We are learning to identify protective strategies when travelling on wheels.

Success Criteria: I can:

List safe and unsafe places to ride. Choose correct answers about safety equipment.

We all know that the road is dangerous and not a place to play on or near.

When choosing where to ride it is important to pick a safe place to play that is away from

driveways, roads and traffic.

Where is a safe place to ride your bike, scooter, skateboard or be on your rollerblades?

Why is it important for you to have an adult with you when you ride?

Below are images showing safe places to rollerblade, and ride a bike and skateboard

Task: List the places near you that are safe and unsafe for rollerblading and riding a bike, skateboard or scooter.

Safe places Unsafe places

Wearing safety equipment is very important when rollerblading and riding your bike, scooter or skateboard. Safety equipment can protect you from

serious injuries if you fall over or have an accident.

Safety Equipment

Task: Draw and label images of safety equipment that you would need to wear if you were rollerblading, riding a bike, skateboarding or on your scooter.
