✔Please note that there will be NO Assessment Task for Today
Student timetable
Wednesday – September 8th
Tuning in – We would like all students to be present for AT LEAST ONE of these sessions today (with this symbol👩)
Independent work – turn off camera
Sharing Learning – turn camera back on to chat to the class
Break times – turn off camera
Please be aware that if you decide to keep your webex running, you will be able to hear any conversations between the teacher and students getting help in the independent working time. We suggest that you turn your sound down on the side of your device and then turn it up again when we come back together as a whole group.
Please have your child’s Venn diagram ready to go at 9am. Thanks 😊
Please see the example of a venn diagram below. You can download a venn diagram by clicking on the link below the example, or you can use a small saucepan lid and trace around it twice with an overlap.

Select one of the five Wushka Non Fiction book that your teacher has set for you in Reading Groups (Cats, Rabbits, Horses & Lizards). It is in your levelled library. Only read one book of these assigned books each day. Please note that the books are the same as last week. (As we are looking at a different comprehension strategy it is useful to read familiar books, so the children can concentrate on the new strategy, rather than unfamiliar words or ideas.)
Read the text.
Think about two ideas to compare that are on the same page, or over two pages so you can flick between the two.
Talk to your parent about how two ideas in the text are similar. Record these on a venn diagram.
Talk to your parent about how these two ideas are different. Record these on a venn diagram
**Please note this task will be explained in the 9.00 am Webex.
Click on the link below to download a Venn diagram.
Learning Intention: We are learning to understand multiplication as equal groups, arrays, repeated addition and skip counting and practice these strategies in games.
Success Criteria – I can:
Understand how to ‘read’ a multiplication sum. (3 x 4 = 12, “3 groups of 4 is 12”)
Make equal groups or arrays to match a multiplication sum.
Write the repeated addition sum to match the sum.
Skip count to work out the answer.
Understand that the numbers in a multiplication sum can be ‘swapped over’ ( eg:3 x 4 = 4 x 3) and use ‘commutative property’ to help me work out the answer. (Know one, know the other)
Warm up – Linking skip counting and times tables (Creating a ‘cheat sheet’)
Click on the link below to download a sheet to record the skip counting pattern and sums for the 10 times tables, or use it as an example to create your own sheet.
