Good morning everyone. We hope that you are all well and ready to learn.
Have you checked out the weekly challenges? There’s a lovely one to go with your French work this week. (Tasty too!)
Reading
Read in a quiet space and don’t forget to quiz if you are ready to. Send us a picture of you reading so that we can share it. (Tomorrow your science will involve insects and plants, so maybe have a look at the e-books and find a suitable one). Don’t forget to quiz.

Which challenges can you nail today? Have you tried playing against anyone yet?
Maths - using column addition and subtraction
Roll a dice twice and make a 2 digit number. Write it down. Roll the dice twice again and either add this number to the first number or subtract one from the other (make sure that you start with the greatest number and subtract the lower number) Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!!!) (If you don’t have dice check out yesterday’s home learning for how to generate numbers on line).
English
Today, I would like you to start doing some research into the country of Italy, as we will be writing our non chronological report about it later in the week.
Part 1
Use the internet or any books you have at home to read about Italy. As you are reading I would like you to write notes, today we are writing only notes rather than full sentences.
i.e Capital—Rome
As well as practising the skill of reading and taking notes I would like the children to practise listening and taking notes.
Part 2
Parents—with part of the information you have found pick a paragraph to read aloud to your child. Please read a sentence at a time to your child and allow them some time to write down some notes from what they have heard.
Parents please make sure that you think carefully about search terms you are typing into the search engine, so that children see the appropriate kind of information about Italy rather than what may be happening there right now.
Please research these areas and write notes in sections on your page in your home learning book
Where is Italy? Which continent is it in? Which countries surround it? Which oceans surround it?
Food
Weather
Landmarks and physical features - rivers, mountains, volcanoes etc
Religion
National celebrations
Then write down one really interesting fact that you found out today (it doesn’t have to be about any of these areas I have given ) —remember in note form.
French
Since we normally do French on a Tuesday and today is Tuesday, here is some French for you to do.
We would like you to watch the You Tube clip “J’aime les fruits” — click the button and learn the names of the different fruits. Sing–a–long with the song and learn the names as you sing.
You could also watch the first part of You Tube video on vocabulary to learn the names of more fruit and veg too.
Can you either print off the sheets here and match the names to the pictures? (if you have a printer) or you could draw yourself some pictures of fruit and vegetables (just like on the sheet) and write the names in French underneath. Make sure that you copy carefully.
If there’s any fruit or vegetables on the sheet that weren’t on the videos then maybe you could investigate what they are on the internet. Have fun!
