Maths – Dividing 1 & 2 digits by 100

Today’s lesson is all about dividing by 100 which we have worked on earlier in the year with whole numbers. Today you will be able to divide smaller numbers and include decimals in your answer. Using the place value charts will help you remember to move each digit 2 places to the right. Remember when you use the Gattengo chart you will need to move down rather than across. Here is the White rose video link to help you.

For children who are completing their Maths with ease, and who would like further challenge, Miss Goddard is started a ‘Daily Maths Challenge’ page on the school website where she will upload a new set of challenges everyday. If you complete today’s work and would like to access it, please click here. 

English – Informative writing about an inventor

All week, you have been learning about inventions and inventors. Today, we would like you to focus on one inventor. That inventor could be someone you already know a little about, it could be someone you have learned about this week or you could start some research about someone new! 

You can present your work however you like – a poster (handwritten or on the computer), a PowerPoint, an information booklet or even a standard piece of writing! Try to cover the answers to the following questions in your work:

1. What is the inventor’s full name?
2. When were they born?
3. Where were they born?
4. What was their job?
5. What did they invent?
6. How did they invent it?
7. How did they invention change the world?
8. Did any other key events happen in their life?
9. Are there any interesting facts about them?

There is a lovely idea below of a poster – it has all the information along with pictures and ‘Fun Facts!’ 

French – Animals

Miss Stonehouse is back with a French video for you. In this Youtbe video below, she will be describing animals using colours. Give it a go trying to copy some of the sentences she reads out.  Remember that in French, the adjective comes after the noun unlike in English – for example we would say ‘the brown dog’ but they would say ‘the dog brown’ (or le chien brun!)

It is a good sort of question for challenging ourselves and getting us thinking. You may need to remember our learning behaviours and the ‘no way through, isn’t true!’ Keep going-You can do it! The answer will be released on Monday so you can then check and see how well you did. Best of luck!

Week 2, lesson 4 – Add Equal Groups

Yesterday we had a go at making equal groups. Today we are going to have a go at adding equal groups! To do this we are going to need to use our repeated addition.This is where we add the same number lots of times (one for each group!). Can you show a grown-up what the add sign looks like? What happens to our number when we add? (It gets bigger!) Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentence? 

‘There are ___ objects.’

‘There are ___ objects in a group.’ 

‘There are ___ equal groups of ___.’
