This week we have been thinking about how we keep our bodies healthy.
We looked at diet and nutrition and designed a healthy snack. Our snacks were delicious! You could find or design a healthy recipe and bring it in to share with the class.
Next week we will be looking at growing and changing. Bring in a photo of yourself from when you were a baby. Then as a class we will try and guess who the baby photo belongs to.
We have also been learning about how exercise is important to keep healthy. As next week is sports day you might want to practise some skills. Can you balance? Can you pass a ball to a friend? How many start jumps can you do in 1 minute?
Next week in Maths we will be looking at data collection and analysis.
Can you create your own tally chart at home?
You could count the cars that go past your street and take a tally of the colours. Perhaps you could ask your friends and family their favourite chocolate bar and make a tally of that?
You could think about the minibeast walks we have been on this week. Go on a minibeast walk and create another tally. Is it similar/different to the results we collected?
Next week in English we will be learning about riddles.
See if you can find what a riddle is at home. Can you find a book that has some riddles in or maybe you could find some riddles on the internet. Why not write your own riddle and bring it in and show us.
Over the past 2 weeks in Maths we have been pracitising a range of strategies for answering questions with all 4 operations.
Look at the operation signs below, can you name them? Can you tell someone what happens to a number when you do this operation (does it get bigger/smaller?) How can you write a number sentence with this operation?
We have been using pictorial representations to help us answer these questions and the number facts we already know. E.g a blank numberline, or drawing dienes.
Choose a number in the red circle, choose an operation and then choose a number in the green triangle. Can you make a number sentence?
*Challenge – Now choose your own numbers, or ask someone to choose some for you.*Â
