I hope you all well and enjoyed the lovely weather we had at the end of last week.
Power Maths
This week in virtual school we will be starting a new topic in maths, Unit 10: introducing length and height. This is a lovely practical maths unit and so if your child has been reluctant to join in with previous power maths units I recommend jumping ahead to unit 10. A ruler and a number line will be useful for this unit and any counting blocks if you have them.
I hope you and your child have fun with this topic. You may like to give them opportunities to compare lengths of toys or measure members of the household using non standard units if measure, for example using cereal boxes or actual feet.
Literacy - writing a story
In this week's literacy children will be invited to write a story set on an island. They are very welcome to make their story pirate related or about another topic that interests them.
It has possibly been a long time since they last wrote a story so giving them a chance to develop their imagination and ideas will be more important than focusing on the number of sentences they record.
It may be helpful to give your child opportunities to talk to you about their story ideas or they may want to act them out. If they are reluctant to physically write their story it is fine for them to draw it in a comic book style or for you to record them retelling it.
Prezi presentations
This week's Prezi presentation walks your child through the literacy and maths activities and also introduces some other activities such as music and leaf spotting.
If you would like additional music, PE and science activities please visit the all topics prezi
As ever, please get in touch if you have any questions or comments.
Lots of love and virtual hugs,
Ms Browne, Mrs Cura, Mrs Rogers & Mrs Barrow. xx
