Maths

LO: To check calculations using inverse

Can you remember what the word inverse means?

Inverse means to check our answers doing the reverse (opposite) e.g., 13+21=34, so 34-21=13, 58+91=149, so 149-91=58 etc.

Remember that inverse operations help us to check an answer to a calculation. It is important for us to remember that if we are unsure of an answer, we can use the inverse to check.

If you use or see a + (addition) in a question, use – (subtraction) to check your answer

The same rules apply for multiplication and division, so if you are multiplying two numbers, you can divide the biggest number by one of those

Example – Anita works out that 84+76=160. Can you write down an inverse calculation that she could use to check her answer?

Inverse Machines - 3-8 year olds - Topmarks – feel free to practise using the inverse using these interactive games. We have used similar to these in class.

Task – CYC. Can you write the inverse sums for the questions below? Remember you have to use the same numbers.

English

LO: To understand the purpose of non-chronological texts

Can you remember what chronological means?

Chronological order means the arrangement of things following one after another in time order.

With this in mind, what do you think non-chronological means? The opposite – things can be ordered without a specific sequence

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks1-ks2-how-to-write-a-non-chronological-report/zvbtscw 

This short film is from the BBC series, The Facts about Non-Fiction. It is about a journalist who explains how writing non-chronological reports requires an understanding of planning, writing, and drafting.

Think about how non-chronological reports help us find answers to questions – can you think of any examples?

Recap the features from yesterday – do you know why each of these are important?

Remember that subheadings help capture the reader’s attention and separate facts into focused subjects e.g., Scoring points – in the example below

Task – using the WAGOLL below, read the text and generate up to five questions to answer. You can use this to practise your comprehension, or ask somebody in your house about what they already know/what they would like to find out about Netball

Spelling – pyramid, history, hymn

Handwriting – write the above words X2 each. Can you put them into a sentence? Remember your ascending and descending letters and which are best left unjoined.

Reading – read for 20 minutes. This could be fiction or non-fiction. What did you find out?

Thought of the day:

PowerPoint attached.

Other Subjects – Science

LO: To investigate animals from the Stone Age

Climate change during the Stone Age caused animal life in Britain to go through several changes. During the Ice Ages, Britain was covered by ice and snow.

Herds of mammoths, reindeer and woolly rhinoceroses roamed across the snow and brown bears sheltered in caves. In the warm periods between the Ice Ages, Britain became as hot as Africa is today! 

Elephants, hippos, rhinos, and hyenas all moved north through Europe to live in Britain. The last Ice Age ended around 15,000 years ago and the British climate became very similar to how it is today.

The forests were full of foxes and red squirrels. Wolves and bears lived in the hills. Britain was home to most of the species of birds, fish, and shellfish we have today, so people had a wide range of food to eat.

If you can research pre-historic beasts on the internet, see what you can find. If not, there is a PowerPoint attached with some amazing facts!

Task – create a fact file about Stone Age animals which look at where the animals lived, what they ate, and how they survived.

Other Subjects – Humanities

LO: To know how the first hunter gatherers became farmers

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z82hsbk/articles/z34djxs  Using BBC Bitesize, research how Stone Age hunter-gatherers had to catch or find everything they ate and how they moved from place to place in search of food. Early Stone Age people hunted with sharpened sticks.

Later, they used bows and arrows and spears tipped with flint or bone.  People gathered nuts and fruits and dug up roots and went fishing using nets and harpoons. Why do you think they had to become farmers?  

Dogs would help with hunting. Graves have been found where dogs had been buried with tools, like the ones they buried humans with. This tells us that dogs were treated like a part of the family.
