Maths

This week, we are going to use the lessons on the Oak national academy for Maths.  The lessons are suitable for following on your phone, table or computer and you just need a pencil and paper.  When the teacher  asks you to write something down or work something out, try to set it out neatly and keep your digits lined up just like we do with the squares in our maths books.   The lesson will usually include:

• An introductory quiz
• A video, listen carefully for the points to pause and work something out using your pencil and paper
• An independent task, this is on the video and can also be found on the next button at the bottom of the lesson
• A final quiz

When you have done the lesson, you could take a photo of your work and upload it onto purple mash.

Y4 - today’s lesson continues the work on deriving addition and subtraction facts by Mrs Crane.  You can find it here. 

Y3 – today’s lesson is on subtracting multiples of 10 with Miss Brinkworth. You can find it here.  If you can’t see the independent task, you can see it if you pause the video just after the blue screen where it says pause for the independent task.

English

Remember our big question is Was Tutankhamen killed?  We are going to plan and write an explanation text to help us decide the answer to this.  Today, you are going to start planning your explanation text. 

Remember the features of an explanation text? 

When we plan a text, we just use notes and bullet points to help remind us what we want to include in our writing.  Try to include as many short notes as possible so when you start to write your text tomorrow, you have lots to write about.   Use the information in the book to help you.

For example, 

Who was Tutankhamen?

• Boy pharaoh
• Son of ___________
• Came to the throne at __ years old
• Married to ______
• Died at age ________
•  Buried in ________
•
