L.O. To recall the subtraction facts from 20 (remembering)

Watch the video and play the game: Subtraction facts (2) - YouTube

You will need your cherry models you created from Monday’s lesson and something to cover up some of the numbers. This could be counters, little toys, bits of paper or card (as long as you can’t see the number written underneath) or anything else you can find that will cover up the number!

Have fun!

Watch today’s video tutorial:

Task – create a clock on a paper plate or circular piece of paper. Create a minute hand and go around the clock reciting 5 past, 10 past, quarter past, 20 past etc.

Then test a parent – put the minute hand at different places on the clock. Are they getting it right? If not, make sure you correct them!

Email your teacher to explain how you found each of the success criteria & the task. Let us know how you found it and if there is anything you found difficult. That way, we’ll know what you need more practise with.

Use the body part that you have become an expert in.

Task 1 – research between 3-5 different animals and collect photos of the same body part.

My example:

Next: compare and contrast the nose of the animals to a human’s nose.

See the example below:

When you are finding differences – try to research why that is and include this

on your journal page.

Challenge: can you explain and justify which animal has the best one on your page?

Something easier?

Make a list of interesting facts about 1 animal’s body part e.g.

A dolphin does not have a nose.

A dolphin cannot smell.

A dolphin has one nostril but it is their blowhole at the top of their head.

A dolphin makes up for their poor sense of smell with their strong taste.
