I trust the Mums out there had a nice day yesterday - celebrating Motherhood and feeling appreciated and loved. My Ben attended the school ball on Saturday night. He looked so handsome in his suit and I really did have a proud Mama moment. What a privilege it is to be a Mum.
I even got a card with these words on it...
Maths: This week we will be exploring strategies for multiplying and dividing numbers. By the end of the week, ask your child to show you two different ways to solve each of these problems. They should be able to explain their thinking to you and show their thinking process with a diagram.
23 x 31
134 ÷ 3
212 x 11
153 ÷ 17
Writing: This week for writing we will be focussing on Narrative. During the week the children will work on using a plan, following the layout of a narrative to write a short story, editing and publishing. I will collect an assessed piece of writing from each child so if you'd like to encourage or talk to them at home about this, that would be great. Get them to share their ideas for their story with you and perhaps you could discuss how to add more detail, increase language features (similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia etc) and what they might do to build a solid picture in the readers' mind. Often a story starts with a very simple outline and the extras get added in to embellish the story for a readers pleasure. Share a fun book at home together and talk about the words used by the writer. The more you talk about written features, the clearer the idea becomes for your child.
Have a great week,
Mrs Lyon.
