Mathematics.
26, 30, 28, 32, __, __
This question caused problems as the numbers in the pattern were not in order! We talked about how patterns have rules and that these numbers were not following a rule. We then put them in order:
26, 28, 30, 32, __, __
Then found the rule and figured out the last two numbers!
26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36.
For comparing numbers, the students were finding 'How may less/more than' questions hard. For this we looked at using subtraction to help find the difference. This led to some tricky maths we haven't covered yet so a lot fo students found using a number line and counting how many 'jumps' it takes to reach the other number helpful.
Writing.
Once upon a time there was a princess called Princess Cheese. She was made of cheese and had a brown, sparkly beard. She lived in a castle made of cheese in Cheesetown. One day, a dirty, muddy giant came and flattened Cheesetown because he wanted to eat the cheese.
Princess Cheese decided to trap the giant, so she dug a big hole with a shovel from her castle. Then she covered the hole with a slice of cheese and put the giants favourite stinky blue cheese on top.The giant came to get the cheese and fell into the hole! ‘Heeelp! I am tricksied!’ said the giant.
Princess Cheese rebuilt Cheesetown on top of the hole so the giant couldn’t get out again.
The End.
The words in blue are what we revised!
