(well done those who noticed the wring date on yesterday’s blog post – you have won 1000 team points!)
Put the kettle on Platypus class I am coming around to your house today to check on all your work and make sure your bedrooms are tidy…
Seriously I wish I could do that because I miss you all very much…and I would love to see all the work you have been up to. If you would like to share anything you have been doing at home and your adult uses twitter they can share it on there or they could send pictures to the school email address with FAO Mr Fielder and I will post them on the blog.
Maths Challenge:
So here is a video to remind you of how the teen numbers are made of 1 group of ten and then some extra ones..
Now try and see how quickly you can recognise these teens amounts shown on a tens frame. You have about 3 seconds before the number is shown. Can you beat the clock?
Now can you find one more and one less than these numbers…
Which ones do not show 16? Can you explain why…. post a comment and let me know!
Reading Challenge:
If you can download the slides above and read through the information about looking after different kinds of pet. Ask an adult to help with reading some of the words if they are a bit tricky but also remember to use your sounds…
Writing Challenge:
Now can you answer these questions…
When should you walk a dog?
What should you put in a snakes tank?
How often do you need to feed an adult snake?
What word means the animal likes to be around people and other animals?
What pet do you think is the best to keep and why?
PE Challenge:
Today is our PE day and I hope lots of you have been doing your daily PE lessons with Joe Wicks the body coach at 9.00am live on his youtube channel.
If you are lucky enough to have a garden or can find a safe place then there are lots of activities from the national tennis association that you might want to try out on this website https://www.lta.org.uk/tennis-at-home

Very good thinking – 61 would be 6 tens and 1 one which is not 16!

That’s right James – it doesn’t matter if we have
one ten and six
or
six and one ten
They are both 16!

61 is not 16 because the numbers are mixed. the other number isn’t 16 because it doesn’t add up to 16 but 7.

The bottom ones are 16 because 8+8 = sixteen. the other two are 16 because they are grouped the same but different way around.

Hello. Ma and Stephanie had a break today. Only done sumdog and the rest was games. We enjoyed our day. Mum and Dad played a prank on us with a broken tv and I was very sad thinking that I will never watch tv again. Them mum and dad explained what April fools mean and I could not stop lying until I went sleep.

Hi Mr fielder
I hope you and family are doing well. I would like to thank you for sending the work everyday and
Najla is doing alot of works in her blue note book and sumdog too.
she said 61 in not 16 because 61 has 6 blocks of 10 and 1 ones. She would like to have a rabbit as a pet because it is soft.
I will try to reply from time to time.
KEEP SAFE AND HOPE SEE EVERYONE SOON
