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).
Please see below for answers to Monday’s Early Bird. Please self-mark your answers.
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?
