Hello Squirrels.

I hope you all had a good Easter holidays.

Welcome to our new topic called Bright lights, Big City.

This topic is going to be all about cities and in particular our capital city, London.

English

Today I would like to know what you already know about London. Have you ever been there? What did you see? Have your parents been there? You could do this as a piece of writing or as a spider diagram.

Maths

This week I would like you to practice some taking away. Remember when taking away the biggest number is at the front of the number sentence. The answer is smaller than this first number unless you are taking away 0. You could use this rule to check your own work.

See if you can find the answers to these questions using objects.

6 -1 = 9 - 5 =

8 - 4 = 7 - 2 =

10 - 3 = 14 - 6 =

15 - 6 = 19 - 8 =

21 - 11 = 27 - 13 =

Word Of The Week

This weeks word is ‘to’. How many sentences can you think of using this red word?

Sound Of The Week

Our sound this week is ‘igh’. How many words can you think of that have this sound? I have thought of 7 so far - I bet you can think of more than me!

D&T

Can you think of a type of transport that you would find in London? Please draw a vehicle that you would find in London and maybe one that you have been on. You can choose to either draw or paper or on an electronic device using drawing software e.g paint or colour magic.

Last time I went to London I saw an old fashioned bus. Would you like to get a bus like this?

Fact Of The Day

Did you know that people lived in London 750,000 years ago! It wasn’t called London back then and it didn’t look like it does now. There were no busy streets or buildings, instead it was a boggy marsh.
