A Word From Teacher

Good morning everyone,

I hope you have all been enjoying the beautiful weather.

We are in the month of June which is our final school month. Let’s keep the hard work going right to the end. We have lovely project work, summer themed lessons and art this week.

Remember to try your best, keep that writing nice and tidy and don’t worry if anything is too tricky. You will have lots of help when you come back to school.

I have set new challenges on Mangahigh for this week. Quick, quick, go and have a look!! Can you beat your classmates? Give each challenge a few tries.

PROJECT TIME!!!!! Each week I will allocate one or two slots for work on an end of year project. Your child can choose any topic for the project. Is there a topic that they have a great interest in and would like to research further?Decide on 4 or 5 sub- headings for the chosen topic and work on one sub- heading per week. I have given ideas of layout and further information on Wednesday’s work.

Mangahigh, a maths site is up and running for everyone. Well done to all that have already signed up. I recommend anyone who has not signed up yet to do so. It is great fun! This will be our Maths Warm Up this week. You can find the link on the text from the school.

2. Topic: Subtraction

Well done on jumping back on your number line yesterday. What happens to a number when you jump back on a number line? Yes, it gets smaller doesn’t it?

Today’s let’s try our crossing- out method in the following subtraction stories.

Task 1:

1. There were 10 cows in a shed. 5 cows went into the field.How many cows were left in the shed?

Step 1: Draw 10 cows Step 2: Cross out 5.Step 3: Count how many cows are left.What happened to the number of cows when we crossed some out?

2. There were 14 birds on a wire. 6 birds flew away. How many birds are left?

Do the 3 steps from above for this story.

Task 2: We can also do subtraction using our tens and units.

This helps a lot for bigger numbers. 17

Take a look at the following example.

Give one of these a try for today.
