Maths: Telling the time to half past

watch the video to help you understand telling the time to o’clock and half past the hour.

Can you make the times shown below? you could draw round something circular, add the clock numbers and draw you minute had and hour hand to make the correct time or you could make your own clock out of a cereal box or paper to make each time. You could use a pipe cleaner or sandwich bag tie to make the hands move or just cut out the hands and place them on your clock. Remember the minute hand is longer than your hour hand.

Phonics: Today we are going to be learning the ‘wh’ digraph. W dont pronounce the ‘h’ in this- it is silent!

Use your robot arms to segment and blend these words.

Look at the pictures and write the ‘wh’ words underneath. You can use the letters underneath to help you work out what the words may be.

Here are the answers- you may want your adult to say the words then you write them!

English- You have planned a new Weather story with your new characters! Look ta your plan. What is your new character? Where do they live? What do the people make them to cheer them up?

Write some sentences to create your story using your story plan. Remember what your writing will need to include:

Capital letters

Full stops

Describing words

Maths:

We have been looking at solving subtraction problems. We know that when we subtract the number we start with gets smaller as we are taking away from that number. Using the number line, can you draw jumps to show how to subtract and then complete the answer?

Think about which number we have to start with (which number do you see first in the number sentence? Then look at how many jumps BACK we need to do. We jump backwards so our numbers become smaller. Then see which number you land on ! Good luck!

Phonics:

We looked at the alternative Grapheme for or today.

look at the picture below. Can you find all the pictures with the aw Grapheme? Once you have found them write the matching words. I have included the answer so you can check.

English:

Today we looked at how we could change some of the features in our Weather Monster story to help us write our own story. We decided we would change the character, where he lived and what the villages took him as a present. Below are some ideas we came up with.

present the villages might take.

Chose your favourite Character, place where they live and what present the villagers will take.

We added our information on to a story mountain plan. See if you can draw your own story mountain and add information for each part to retell the story. Remember to change who the character is, Where they lived and what present was taken.

Mathematics:

We look at subtracting within 20 today. We told maths stories about cookies. EG: First there were 14 cookies. Then 3 were eaten. Now there are 11 cookies left. We used a Frist, Then, and Now grid to help us complete the equations.

Phonics: Today we looked at the grapheme ue (it makes an oo or you sound).

Pin on Literacy

Look at the pictures below. Can you find all the ones with the ue sound in. Once you have found them write the correct word for each picture. I have included the answers for you to use to check afterwards.

English: Today we finished writing the story about the Weather Monster.

Look at the picture below and tell someone at home how the story ended.

To help us write our sentences we talked about how the Weather monster was feeling and why? We also thought about what had happened to the weather at the end of the story. We thought about what each of our sentences would be and we tried to include a good describing word. Some of us wrote: The furry Weather Monster felt elated. The friendly villagers had sweet cake and tea. The weather was always sunny.

Mathematics:

We used number lines to practise our addition within 20. We tried a strategy where we made ten first and then counted on to help us find the is equal to. We started on 6 and then did one big jump to 10. We worked out this was 4 jumps. We then knew we had to jump 3 more times for us to add 7 correctly.

Have go at this strategy yourself. If you find it too difficult you can always jump in ones.
