Welcome to another week of home maths learning. The weather forecast is not so good this week, so I have tried to include more active and practical indoor learning ideas as well as the usual videos and paper based learning.

Both Year groups could use this link which gives you some ideas on learning or practising your times tables whilst keeping active: BBC Super movers

Here is a 8 x “board” game: 8 times tables space race game

  Narrow Escape 2     –  The Rocketeer

The film is set during WW2 and features a young boy who dreams of flying.   One day the peace of this small farming community is shattered by a police chase.

A tragedy is on the cards but luckily ‘The Rocketeer’ was on hand to save the day!

Today, I would like you to imagine you are the boy in the animation and write a recount of what happened that day.

(For the Literacy Shed link you will need to scroll to the bottom – some of the other War and Peace Videos are aimed at slightly older children. I have given you two different links in case one website is running slowly.)

Here are some ideas for writing your recount successfully:

The Rocketeer

This week we are going to use two videos to support our writing. Both have a theme of Narrow Escapes, but they are very different.

Narrow Escape 1 – the Impala and the Leopard

We are going to practise our story telling skills using varied adverbials in different positions in our sentences using this video as a stimulus.

Year 4 – if you are not confident with money you might want to take a look at the year 3 materials. There will be a week with money learning for you in a few weeks – it will build on the Year 3 skills.

Year 3 – if you are keen to spend more time on maths and you are a really confident with your times table recall, then you might want to revise multiplying 2 digits by 1 digit using the year 4 Monday video and worksheet.

All – there will be no Maths and English on Friday
