SPELLING Look back at all the words you

have practised during lockdown. Pick out the 10 words that you think might be tricky for you to remember and test yourself on

them (or ask someone to test you). If you struggle with any of them

make yourself a little sign to put up in your house to remind you of

how to spell them.

Thoughtful Time

We have missed a

few Thoughtful

Assemblies while we have been at home so today we thought we could catch up with

some of the questions we have missed.

Have a look at the

questions and write your answers as though you are writing into Friday

assembly.

We will include some of your answers on our feedback pages next

week.

We are looking forward to seeing some beautiful,

creative and colourful feedback!

See the questions on

page 2.

ENGLISH The Secret Garden

We hope you enjoyed the

story and read it carefully.

Today, we would like you

to choose 2 or 3 characters and write a short description about

each of them.

Next, write a short description (3 or 4

sentences) about the setting. You can write about the house or the

garden - it’s up to you!

Use the word bank on page 8 to write super

sentences.

MATHS We hope you enjoyed playing the game yesterday. Hopefully it also helped you to get quicker at adding money! Did it feel easier by the end? Today we are still looking at money and will be using all four operations (+, -, X and ÷) to solve problems. Head to page 4 where you will find a reminder about each operation. We have included key words to look for which act as clues for which operation you should be using as well as some useful ways to visualise and solve the problems. Let us know if there’s something you’re not sure about. There is also a challenge page today (p6) which you might like to do. Perhaps you will choose to do it tomorrow when there is not a ‘work’ JTKYG as it is a Bank Holiday. It is optional though!

Fitness Corner Decide on your favourite exercise. I know some of you love the plank, push ups or burpees. Others love

balances. Let’s create a photo sheet of you doing your favourite. Try out some different exercises then send us

a photo of your top choice.

Answers and feedback

1. The following instruments are in an orchestra: String instruments such as the violin, viola, cello and double bass. Brass instruments such as the horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba. Woodwind instruments such as the flute, clarinet, cor anglais, oboe, piccolo and bassoon. Percussion instruments such as drums, timpani, triangle and cymbals. There may also be a piano and a harp. 2. There are more violins in the orchestra than flutes. 3. The percussionist sits at the back of an

orchestra. How did you get on? Well done if you thought of 10 or more instruments. Do you find that you prefer songs with a fast tempo that make you want to dance and move or songs with a slow tempo that help you to relax.

How did you get on with the game?

Did you find it easy to add the amounts?

Did you find it easy to add on two amounts? How did you go about doing this? Did you

add the two together and then add that onto the total so far, or did you add each one in

turn?

What was your overall total?

Did you play it more than once? If so, was your total bigger/smaller the second time?

Did you figure out the biggest/smallest possible total?

Did you check your answers carefully? If so, did you spot a mistake? (well done if you

did!)

Change You go to the shop to buy something and the total comes to £8.98, but you only have a £10 note. Does this mean you can’t buy what you came for? No! You have enough money, but when you hand it over to the cashier, they can’t keep it all because you’re only buying goods worth £8.98, so it wouldn't be fair. They would need to give you the ‘extra’ or the difference between the two values back as change. You could start at £8.98 and count on (up to £9.98 is £1, then an-other 2p, so £1.02 change is due) or take the smaller amount from the larger (£10—£8.98=£1.02) using column subtraction (you’d have to do a lot of complicated exchang-ing here!). In this case, it is probably easier to count up because the values are close together, but it’s up to you.

Bar models Bar models can be a really useful draw-ing to help you to visualise the problem and therefore how to solve it. These are simple problems, but the same principle applies for more complex ones. In this example, you can see that the whole (£12) needs to be shared between the 3 friends, which means you need to do 12÷3=£4. In the next example, the bar model can help you to see that you must take away. She has £12 which is the whole. She spent £3 which means she got rid of it—she doesn’t have it any more. 12-3=£9. Many people fall into the trap of adding here, either because they haven't read the question carefully or because they are finding it tricky to visualise. In the final example, £12 is not the whole (biggest number). Her friend has more, so her friend has the whole but we don’t know what it is yet. Nijah has £12. Her friend has 3 times that, so she has £12, another £12 and a third lot of £12. 3X12=£36

The word ‘more’ This word could really come under the addition and subtraction boxes! In this example, Nijah has a starting amount (£12) and gets given more by her mum, so she ends up with an amount greater than £12 (which will be the whole). It is obvious that we need to add £3. However, ‘more’ can sometimes mean ‘extra’ (like it did when we looked at bar charts). For example: Sam has £24.90 and Emma has £13.50. How much more does Sam have? This is asking you how much ‘extra’ Sam has and is easy to visualise with a bar model: The whole (biggest amount) is Sam’s money. We can now easily see that if we take Emma’s amount away, we would be left with the other part, which is how much ‘extra’, or more, Sam has. £24.90-£13.50=£11.40. Finding the difference Remember, this can be calculated by taking the smaller amount away from the bigger one. You could use column subtraction, just remember to be careful with your place value. Alternatively, you could count up from the smaller one to the larger one. There is an example of this on the work page (question 2).

£13.50

Division and fraction These are linked –we know that. Divid-ing is splitting/sharing the whole into equal groups/parts. With fractions, we are still splitting the whole into equal parts (remember the bottom number tells us how many equal parts we are splitting the whole into). Look at the example. We know one quarter is writ-ten like this: . The bottom number is 4, so the whole needs to be split into 4 equal parts, or divided by 4. Ron had £48 which is the whole. Firstly we need to figure out how much he spent—we need to find a quarter of £48 by doing 48÷4=£12 (half and half again would work). But the question isn’t asking how much he spent (which is what we’ve just found out). It’s ask-ing how much is left (which is the rest). Now the bar model can help us to see that if we start with the whole and take away what was spent, we will be left with the other parts—how much is left. 48-12=£36. Alternatively, you could notice that all of the parts are equal and add the 3 remaining parts together to get the an-swer. All of the parts are worth £12. You could do 12+12+12, but it would be easier to do 12X3=£36 left.
