The Blitz During the Blitz, German bombers didn’t drop

bombs everywhere. As you know, London was

one main target. On this map, you can see other

places that were bombed.

The Germans targeted places where there were factories (these were in cities) and ports (around

the coast of the UK).

This was because factories made important things that people in the

UK needed to survive and ports were where boats

brought things from other countries.

Why do you think London had the most bombs dropped on it?

This is a map of the area around our school from today. If you can, we would like you to print off the map and then

visit this website: http://bombsight.org/

Here you can see where all the bombs were dropped during WW2. You need to move the

map to find Waller Road, where our school is, and then

mark on your printed map where bombs were dropped

around Edmund Waller School.

If you can’t do that, have a look at the ‘Bomb Sight’ website to

see where bombs were dropped near your home.

Then, ask an adult if they can have a walk with you to see if you can find those places. Can you spot any differences in the buildings where bombs where

dropped? In what ways are they different?

First, watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-living-through-the-air-raids/zjnyrj6

In it, a man called Alan tells his granddaughter what it was like to live through air raids in the war.

This is a picture of a classroom

during the 1940s when WW2 took

place.

How is it different to

your classroom today? How is

it similar?

Make a list of similarities and

differences.

Spelling: We are focusing on one

spelling, ou, which can make lots of different sounds.

Today, we’d like you to choose 6 of the words with ou in that you’ve been working on and

then practise writing them out and working with them in

different ways:• Speed spell – how many of

each word can you write in 2 minutes?

• Word chop – write out each of the words on a piece of paper. Chop each word out and then cut it in half and

shuffle them up. How quickly can you put the words back together?

• Spiral spellings – write each word out in a spiral – see an

example on the left hand side of the page!

‘The Lion and the Unicorn’

Questions from the page that starts: “That night, long after the others had gone to sleep…”:Please remember to keep writing down the answers to all the questions in full sentences in your book.

Looking: What do the children at Lenny’s school tease him about? Who is kind to Lenny and how do they help him? Who is not so kind to Lenny?

Clue: 1. How can you tell from the way that the writer describes Lenny

and his actions that Lenny is afraid of the noises outside?

2. How can you tell that Lenny misses his mum and dad?

Choose the best quotations from the story that show this.

Thinking: Have you ever heard strange noises in the night that have scared you? What did you do to make yourself feel better?

Tricky words you’ll come across: prowling – moving about quietly and secretly, in search of somethingjeer – to say or cry out in a cruel waygrim-faced – having a very serious or moody expressionwhisked away – taken away quickly

Division using partitioning

This shows 48 ÷ 2 = 24 using place value counters:

1. 15 ÷ 3 =

2. 16 ÷ 2 =

3. 18 ÷ 3 =

4. 20 ÷ 4 =

5. 22 ÷ 2 =

6. 24 ÷ 4 =

7. 25 ÷ 5 =

This time, the number 48 has been partitioned into 40 and 8 because you can divide both numbers easily by 2.

Now try these:Division
