Morning Starter:

Spend at least 20 minutes on Times Table Rockstars. Concentrate on perfecting those times tables

that you find tricky. If you know there is a particular table that you are not keen on because you

find it difficult then keep repeating it, as it will become easier (I promise you). If you are quite good

at a particular times table but there are a couple within it that you keep stumbling on, write them

down and ask an adult if you are allowed to display them somewhere (e.g. on a cupboard door) so

that whenever you see the tricky table, it will become more visual to you and help you to remember

it e.g. 7 x 6 = 42. Write it also as 6 x 7 = 42. Maybe you could start doing that today – an adult could

keep revisiting the tricky table facts so that you hear them enough times e.g. each morning for a

few minutes.

Worksheet answers (Pages 27-28) Lesson 14 – Rounding Decimals

Reading:

LI: To recite a poem.

Read ‘Younger Brother’ by Trevor Millum

Practise reading the poem in your head and then

aloud.

Does the poem remind you of anybody you know?

How many different objects does the younger

brother collect? The words for these objects are

nouns. (Nouns are a person, place or thing).

Use the ‘Revision’ materials below to help you

remember nouns, verbs and adjectives.

Can you learn the poem ‘word for word’ and recite

it without looking at the poem?

English:

LI: Revise nouns, verbs and adjectives.

Search for nouns, verbs and adjectives: ‘In the Cave.’

Read the poem ‘In the Cave’. Try highlighting the nouns in this poem in one colour. Now search

for verbs and highlight those in a different colour. Finally, search for and highlight adjectives

(again in yet another different colour).

Read the poem ‘The Teacher’s Day in Bed’. Highlight the nouns and verbs (using different

colours) in this poem. (All the answers can be found below).

Create some more lines – using other animals and what they could do in the classroom. Can you

think of three more?

Now choose a poem you like, copy it using your best handwriting and illustrate it (draw a picture

to represent your poem).

Project:

Can you find materials around the house to make one of the animals from the poem, ‘The Teacher’s

Day in Bed’.

Choose your favourite animal and see if you can re-create it in many ways; Design & Technology (us-

ing recycled materials), Art work by drawing, painting, using chalk or another medium. Create some-

thing you are proud of, take photographs of it and if possible stick it into your book or send it to the

helpdesk where Mr Swain will send it onto Mr Ruffle (who chooses which work can go in the ‘updates.’)

Most importantly, have fun doing this!
