The above link is for the White Rose Maths Home Learning page. They will be adding five lessons each week for the next few weeks. Every lesson comes with a short video showing you clearly and simply how to help your child to complete their set activity successfully. It asks you to pause the video at certain places and answer questions before moving on to the next part of the video. This is not compulsory and may not follow exactly what our focus for the week is, it is purely a suggestion if you are looking for extra ideas in Maths.

Today the class were meant to be going on a teddy bear’s picnic on the Alfred Major. The children were going to be preparing their own food as part of our DT project. Two weeks ago we did a taste testing to see which foods were the class’s favourite. If possible, it would be nice if you were still able to complete this activity. Children will need to prepare as much of the picnic as possible. Remember to take your teddy out with you. If you want to move this activity to another day, why not make invites to your teddy bears and families? |
