Maths
This week, we have been learning our 9 x table. First we noticed that we add 10 and take away 1 each time. This makes lots of patterns in the 9x table. Please write in your homework book the multiples of 9 going down your page - then explain the patterns you spot to your grown ups. Write a written explanation of this.
Then use the sheet given, ‘Practising the 9x table’ to learn the facts through playing a game - follow the instructions on the sheet.
Finally, keep practising each day - with quick- fire questions eg 7x9 3x9 until you know it off by heart.
Assembly Parts
Our assembly will be about ‘The Garden of Gethsemane,’ on Wednesday 1st April. Please learn your assembly parts for next week. Some of you have a song to learn instead:
English
The Anglo-Saxons loved to share Riddles and Kennings - (both different types of poetry) with each other. We have learnt in class how to write a Kenning. For your homework, please write 2 Kennings. One about yourself (see sheet for help to plan this) and another about anything for me to guess! It could be a type of animal, an item of clothing, a sport - anything - but please give me lots of clues! Go to the ‘Help your child’ section for an information poster and a teaching powerpoint about kennings to refresh your memory.
