I am going to write about summer, so first I will thought shower words that remind me of summer:Sunshine, ice-cream, beach, sand, swimming, sunbathing, holidays. Now I will choose a word that I could shape, I am going to write about ice creams as I think this would make a good calligram and a visual representation will be easy.Next I need to come up with some expanded noun phrases that I could use to make a poem Ice-cream – cold cream, deliciously refreshing, baby pink, cooling taste, chimes of the van, tasty waffle cone, colourful hundreds and thousands, sweet syrupy sauce. Plan your expanded noun phrases ready to write your poem tomorrow.

Numeracy – Mental calculations

For a target lesson we are going to look at finding ways to make mental addition easier.How would you mentally add 345 + 242?

Partition both numbers 300+200+40+40+5+2 = 587Partition 1 number 345+200+40+2 = 587

What about 4 digit numbers?4326 + 2163 =

4000 + 2000, 300 + 100, 20 + 60, 6 + 3 = 6489

4326 + 2000 + 100 + 60 + 3 = 6489

You try:1. 324 + 645 =

2. 252 + 124 =

3. 2854 + 1435 =

4. 3652 + 527 =
