Maths

Today, we are recapping subtraction facts related to number bonds to 20. The part-whole model below shows the number bond 12 + 8 = 20. There are 20 cubes in the top circle, 12 cubes in the left circle and 8 cubes in the other circle. When you add the bottom two circles you get 20: 12 cubes + 8 cubes = 20 cubes and 8 cubes + 12 cubes = 20.cubes. We can use the part-whole model to find out some subtraction facts. To find out the answer to 20 - 12, look in the right-hand bottom circle and we find the answer, 8. To find out the answer to 20 - 8, just look at the left-hand bottom circle and we find the answer, 12.

Now it's your turn to have a go. The part-whole model below shows the number bond 16 + 4 = 20. Can you write two subtraction facts?

20 - 4 = ____

20 - ____  =  _____

Now try this one. 15 + 5 = 20. Can you write the two subtraction facts for the part-whole model below?

20 - ___ = ____

20 - ___ = ____

We are nearing the end of our story, 'The Hundred Decker Bus'. Today, we are going to use adjectives and the conjunction (sticky glue word)'because' to describe how the bus driver felt when the bus broke down and why he felt that way. Then we are going to describe how the bus driver felt when the man in the hot air balloon offered them all a lift, and why the bus driver had those feelings.

To help me, I've made this chart. 

In the first column, I'm going to write how the bus driver felt when the bus broke down and they couldn't go any further. The bus driver felt really happy when he was driving to different places. How do you think he felt when he thought they couldn't go any further? Let's think of some words: sad, disappointed. Can you think of some words?

Why did the driver feel sad? Perhaps because he enjoyed travelling around and liked having adventures and now they wouldn't be able to have any more?

Now we've got our word bank, we can construct a sentence: 'The bus driver felt sad, disappointed and dismayed because they would not be able to go on any more adventures.'

Can you think of three adjectives to describe how the bus driver felt? Don't forget to put a comma between the first two adjectives (you don't need one if you are using 'and').

In the second column, I'm going to use describing words to describe how the bus driver felt when the hot air balloon man offered them a lift and the adventure continued. (If you want to listen to the story again to remind you of what happens, you can go to this You Tube link: The Hundred Decker Bus - Story Read Aloud by Big Fox - YouTube )

How do you think the bus driver felt when he realised they could continue to travel? Let's think of some adjectives. For example, 'happy', 'overjoyed', 'excited'. Why did he feel these things? Perhaps because he could carry on doing what he loved, travelling to new places and meeting new people. 

Now we can write a sentence: 'The bus driver felt happy, delighted and overjoyed because they could keep visiting new places.'

Phonics

For today's phonics we are focusing on the oo, u-e, ew sounds. Use this sheet to practise saying the sound. Use your Fred Fingers to spell out each word and write it out. This video will help you to remember how to say all of our Set 2 and Set 3 sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eh_RQ0Pkhg

Practise reading Year 1 common exception words on this slide show. How many did you get right?

• What changes have happened to you since you were a baby? 
• How do you look different to when you were a baby?
• What are the things you can do now that you couldn’t do when you were younger?
• What are the things you are still learning to do? 

Watch this film about Harold the Giraffe, as he looks at pictures of himself as a baby.

Then and now (coramlifeeducation.org.uk)

• What were all the different things that Harold was learning to do?
• Can you do those things?
• What is Harold learning to do in the last picture?
• Can you ride a bike? [Some of you can and some of you are still learning.]

As well as our bodies changing, the things we can do also change.

Have a go at this activity sheet. The sheet shows three different stages of growing – one as a baby, one as a toddler and one as you are now.

What do you think the differences between the three stages are? It could be how you look or the things you can do.

• In the boxes on the left hand side, draw or write you could do when you were a baby, then as a toddler and, finally, in the bottom box, what you can do now.
• In the boxes on the right hand side draw or write who helped you when you were a baby, then a toddler and who helps you now.
• In the boxes in the middle draw a picture of yourself when you were a baby, when you were a toddler and how you look now.
