How has your week started? Thank you to all of you who have already sent in some of your work or uploaded it to Purple Mash. It's great to see what you're getting up to. Will we have even more people on this week's hall of fame?

What do you think of the different Weekly Wellbeing activity yesterday? You can find today's below. 

Talk It Out Tuesday

Have a think about how far you have come during this school year. What things have you learnt? What are you able to do now that you couldn't do in September? Ask someone at home the same question and share your thoughts. 

English - Writing

Yesterday, you drew a detailed picture of the setting for your story. Today, your task is to think of adjectives and nouns that you could use to describe the scene. 

Firstly, pick out things in the picture that you think are important. For example, it might be a table, a river or a swing.

Secondly, think of one (or two) adjectives you could use to describe this thing. For example you might have a large, oak table, a wide, murky river or a rusty, slightly broken swing. 

Try to collect at least 10 groups of adjectives and nouns based on yesterday's picture. The more you collect now, the easier it will be to write some detailed description later.

English - Reading

The wall of fog is surrounding Fred and his companions as we begin Chapter Twelve. What will happen to them in the fog?

The whole of this chapter uses language to convey the fear that can happen when we lose our sight and sense of where we are, find three examples of the imagery used to show that fear to the reader.

Maths

Yesterday, we looked at jigsaw numbers, these are really important when we are developing our mental subtraction strategies. 

Let's have a look at the steps below. 

​1. Show the gap on a number line. 

​2. Draw a line at 100

​3. Jump to 100.

​4. Jump from 100.

​5. Add the two jumps. (This uses the addition method we were practising last week.)

Remember, with these methods the aim is to move from using the full method, to being able to solve the entire subtraction in your brain. The steps are the same we just need to be able to hold more numbers in our head.
