Numeracy – Written multiplicationWe are going to start this week looking at the short written method for multiplication and then use this to help us solve problems and calculate perimeter.Look at this example:

Talk to someone at home about this method.Use Rosie’s method to work out:

1) 6 x 282) 5 x 323) 6 x 344) 7 x 455) 4 x 58

Literacy – Short storyThis week you are going to continue a short story. The story is called the Lighthouse, what do you think it will be about? What do you think will happen? Watch the 1st minute -

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HfBbSUORvoWhy do you think the lighthouse keeper slams the window? Why does the author put this scene in? How is tension created in the film?

Create a short storyboard about the film.

If a canteen has 1 bread choice and 2 filling choicesBread – WhiteFilling – Jam or Cheese

The combinations could be:Jam on whiteCheese on white

To write this as a multiplication it would be 1 (bread choice) x 2 (filling choices)Now try the questions below.

Literacy – story writingRe-watch The Lighthousehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HfBbSUORvoToday you are going to start thinking about writing your own short story based on the setting of The Lighthouse, you can keep the characters the same or include your own.

Literacy – character descriptionToday you will be thinking about your Lighthouse keeper. Will they be like the one in the film? Or different? Use the template below as a prompt to begin gathering ideas about your character.

SPaG – their, there and they’re‘Their, they’re and there’ are homophones, although they are spelt differently and mean different things. ‘Their’ is a possessive pronoun and means that something belongs to them, ‘they’re’ is a contraction of ‘they are’; and ‘there’ is used to mean a place or position.Try the quizhttps://www.educationquizzes.com/ks2/english/their-theyre-and-there/

Literacy – Story planAll stories have a beginning, middle and end. Your story will also need a problem and a resolution. Today I want you to plan your story about the Lighthouse (you can use the video story or you can change the character, problem and resolution)Plan your story using the story mountain below. In your opening you will describe your setting and character(s). Think carefully about your build up, problem and resolution. Don’t forget to include the types of conjunctions that you will use.

SPaG – you’re and yourYour and you’re are homophones but mean different things. Your is a possessive pronoun meaning something belongs to you, whilst ‘you’re’ is a contraction of you are.Try the quiz:https://www.educationquizzes.com/ks2/english/your-and-youre/

Numeracy – PerimeterToday we are going to reason based on the perimeter work we have done over the last two days.

Mo is incorrect, he is correct that the perimeter of the small rectangles is 16cm but when you put the rectangles together and calculate the distance around the new shape it is (10 x 2) + (3 x 2) = 26cm.

Now you try:

Literacy – short storyToday I would like you to write up your short story ‘The Lighthouse’. Use you character and setting description plans along with the story mountain. You can write this in an email and then send it to Miss Smith. Don’t forget to check and edit your work for correct punctuation, grammatical sense and interesting expanded noun phrases.
