Or choose another challenge from the times table booklet and complete it. Time yourself and  post it with your total on class dojo.
You will need a pencil , coloured pencils and paper.

We have been working on our tables this week particularly the 2s , as well as 4s and 8s for some of you. There are a variety of problems to solve today. Look at them and choose one, or more if you like that you think you could solve. Remember if you find one easy try a trickier problem. Likewise if you find one tricky, persevere and don’t forget you can always use drawings or practical things around the house to help you.

English 

Honey I shrunk the kids!

Oh no – something has gone terribly wrong – dad has accidently zapped his children and they are now extremely tiny!  Can you continue the story – what adventures will they have?  How big will a hedgehog seem to the children?  Maybe they find a bug who is lost but face different challenges trying to return it to it’s home.  Do they have to escape from an attacking army of ants?  We really look forward to reading your stories.  

An idea of how to layout your tally chart:

Question Time  -  you could write your answers down or maybe tell someone at home when they are free.  They could perhaps write your answers down for you?

Sick Sentences -  Can you make these sentences better?  What could you add?  

The stone started to go.  What other words could you use for go?  Where was it going?  

Perfect Picture – We wonder what you will draw?  Just an idea!
