Tuesday 12^th January 2021

Good morning and welcome back to Swallows class blog.

Did you enjoy writing your diary yesterday? I loved reading the many examples that were sent in via our class discussion and via email. You should all be so proud of yourselves.  I hope you are ready for another busy day of home learning.

Please see our task list and PowerPoint presentations below to see what your home learning tasks are for today. Please also remember to take a few moments to look at the class discussion page each day where I will be available to ‘chat’ to you about the work that I have set for that day. You can just pop on there to say hi or tell have a little chat with your friends. The children can type in their own messages. It is a lovely, safe way of us staying in touch.

  Maths – 1 more and 1 less.  Please see the talking Power point attached at the bottom of the page. You will see a little icon on each page which needs to be clicked on in order to hear my voice. If you are struggling to hear the sound on the PowerPoint, here is a video of the full PowerPoint. You may need to come out of this to watch the White Rose video mentioned and linked below.

  Times Tables

I hope you had lots of fun learning your 2 x tables last week. This week, I would like you to focus on learning the ten times tables.

Please write the numbers 1 – 10 in a list going down your page. Now we are going to multiply each number by 10.  Look at the example below. Then go through in order, starting by counting in 10s one time. What is the total? Now put 2 fingers up and count in 10s. What is the total? Now put 3 fingers up and count in 10s. What is the total? Continue until you get to 10 lots of 10.  Did you notice a pattern?  Can you write your ten times table quicker than yesterday? Why don’t you put a timer on and see how speedy you can be?

1 x 10 = 10

2 x 10 = 20

3 x 10 =

 Writing

Can I ask questions? Can I create my own quiz?  - See the Power point attached at the bottom on this blog post. Like the maths, I have recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do.

Again, here is a link to the video for if you are struggling to access the sound on your device.
