Hello Squirrels

I hope you all had a good weekend.

English

We are going to be looking at a book called ‘Naughty Bus’ by Jan and Jerry Oke.

What do you think of the story? Why do you think he is called a naughty bus?

Look carefully at some of the words in the book. Some are printed differently to others. Why do you think they have done this?

Maths

This week we are going to be focusing on the inverse or opposite of subtraction - addition.

When adding with objects remember to make 2 groups. One group with objects making the first number and the second group of objects making the second number. Then you can push the two groups together to find the answer. Don’t forget to count carefully! Remember when we add the answer is usually the biggest number.

Have a go at using objects to find the answers to these questions.

6 + 2 = 8 + 1 =

7 + 4 = 9 + 6 =

10 + 3 = 11 + 5 =

15 + 8 = 17 + 7 =

20 + 9 = 26 + 4 =

21 + 6 = 23 + 5 =

12 + 11 = 14 + 15 =

16 + 14 = 18 + 13 =

Word of the Week

This weeks red word is ‘today’. What are you going to do today? Can you think of any more questions or sentences using the word ‘today’?

Fact of the day

There is a strange-looking building in London, nicknamed the Gherkin, which is 180 meters high. It gets its nickname because it looks a bit like a giant gherkin, a type of cucumber.

I will be in school tomorrow.
