Hi girls, I hope you’re all well and not missing school too much. Here are some activities for you to do if you want to but there is no pressure. If you would like to upload any of the work you are doing for me onto Seesaw, I would love to see it and am happy to answer any questions you might have about it!

Maths: 

Tables-Revision and Games: Revise the following Tables:

Monday: x 4

Tuesday: x 6

Wednesday: x 9

Thursday: x 10

Friday: x 11.

For each of the Tables, complete the following activities (For Fun, no stress! These activities stay the same, you just change the Table that you are working on, and the aim is to increase the speed in which you answer each week / day):

1. Table Challenge each day: How quickly can you say the list of multiples for each Table? Ex. 4, 8, 12, 16 etc. Time yourself! Can you improve on your time?
2. Can you say the multiples backwards, starting with the highest? Ex. 120, 110,100 etc.
3. Write out the multiples for your daily table. What is the biggest 4 -digit number you can make? What is the smallest 4- digit number you can make?

Time:  

This week we are continuing our work on time. This can be a tricky topic. If you need help, try visiting www.topmarks.co.uk and typing Teaching Clock into the search bar. Alternatively, you could make a clock if you have a paper plate, drawing pin or blue tack and paper or card to make the 2 hands.

 

Answer the following questions:

1. Can you name the 12 months of the year in order?
2. Can you say them backwards?!!!

2. 1 hr. 50 mins. =
3. 1 hr. 40 mins. =
4. 2 hrs. 20 mins. =
5. 2 hrs. 45 mins. =
