Topic

Make your ship.

Create and test that your ship floats. I know that a few of you have done this already. So if you would like an extra task you could create a flag for your ship in a collage. The fun thing about collages is that you can use lots of different materials to make them – cotton wool, baking paper, card, straws, cardboard, tissues, string, wool, magazine cuttings, food packaging.

Literacy Task

Over the next few weeks we will be completing tasks based on Lighthouse an animation. Each day there will be an activity to complete, this week we will be completing tasks that will help us to write a story at the end of the week. We hope you enjoy it.

Maths Task

Today we will be mentally adding a 1-digit to a 3-digit number using number facts.

Find the questions and an extension activity in additional resources.  

Top tip: Encourage children to use bonds and number facts rather than count on in 1s as it is quicker and more accurate. They could use bonds to next 10 and then add the rest, e.g. 486 + 7 = 486 + 4 + 3 = 493. Or they could use number facts, e.g. 7 + 2 = 9, especially if they are not crossing 10.
