Today’s Live Session

Wednesday 6th January 11AM – Zoom details have been emailed in order to access these daily sessions.

Today’s Live Zoom Subject: English

I will introduce our new book ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’ by Gareth Edwards which we will be focusing on for the next three weeks. Today, we will think of questions about the book, read it and begin to pick out our special six.

Early Bird Maths

We begin each day with ‘Early Bird Maths’. It is to support children in becoming more fluent with aspects of maths that we have learnt. Similar ideas are repeated so that children become familiar with the four basic calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

Whole Class Reading (WCR)

To practise our reading; becoming more fluent and increasing our understanding, we take part in WCR daily. Our objective this term is to retrieve information from a text and record it through writing. This is tricky stuff so there will be lots of opportunities to practise this. As well, there will be a daily challenge to come up with your own questions.

Have a go at the attached, read the text and answer the questions about this piece of text. Then, can you think of any other questions you could ask?

Maths

Watch the video below entitled ‘Find The Difference’ via the below link. Listen to the narrator. He will ask you some questions, pause the video when asked and have a go yourself!

Then, answer the problem solving questions below. You may need some help with this. Having some coins to use might help too!

Big Idea – MAKE YOUR OWN!

In English yesterday, you thought about your favourite foods, ingredients you would put into a sandwich and ingredients you would not put into a sandwich.

This week in ‘Big Idea’, you will plan making your own disgusting sandwich, have a go at creating it and then evaluate it… I would not recommend really eating it… perhaps you could pretend!

The worksheet below allows you to plan your disgusting sandwich.

If I were to make a disgusting sandwich, my sandwich would include marmite (yuck!), grass (not my favourite…) and soil (far too sour!) It may also use mouldy rye bread and have a drizzle of pedal mucus (also known as a component of slug slime!)
