Last week Mrs Kay sent a letter out to let you know all about the Summer Reading Challenge.

This year you will be able to be part of the Silly Squad, an adventureous team of animals who love to have a laugh and get stuck into all sorts of funny books. You will be able to access games, quizzes and activities to support your reading.

Ask an adult and then visit the website to sign up - https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/about-the-challenge

L.O: To identify and use some prepositions/prepositional phrases (indicating time, position, direction, possession). S.C:

Know what a preposition is. Read the sentences. Underline the prepositions. Write your own sentences using

preposition to show where and when something took place.

A preposition is a word that tells you where or when something is in relation to something else. Examples of prepositions include words like after, before, on, during, under, inside and outside. For example: After walking for miles she rested on a hill.

In this sentence ‘after’ tells you when she rested and ‘on’ tells you where she rested. For Monday’s English task, look at the sentences and underline any prepositions.

L.O: To solve problems that involve unit and non-unit fractions. S.C: Know what a denominator

and numerator show. Read the question carefully. Use what you learnt last

week to help you solve the problems. Look at last week’s success criteria if needed.

Last week we learnt all about fractions. Today you are going to apply what you have learnt to solve problems involving unit and non-unit fractions.

You can do this by using the game below. Remember to select ‘Fractions’: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/fraction-matcher/latest/fraction-matcher_en.html

Then complete Monday’s maths activity.

L.O: To use adverbs to open some sentences. S.C:

sense.

Adverbs describe the way something happens, for example gently, always, today. Sometimes adverbs can be used to open a sentence.

For example:

Suddenly it was gone.

Quickly the cat ran away.

When used in this way, adverbs can add a sense of drama to a sentence, drawer the reader’s attention to it.

Look at the picture included in Tuesday’s English task. Write four sentences to describe what you can see happening in the picture. Remember to use an adverb to start each sentence.

L.O: To recognise and show using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators. S.C:

Know what equivalent means. Represent equivalent fractions

practically. Read the questions carefully. Look at the denominator and

numerator. Use the fraction wall, your times

table knowledge and the diagrams to help you.

Equivalent fractions are two or more fractions that have the same value, even though they have different denominators and numerators. Equivalent means equal. For example:

A has 1 out of 3 sections shaded so it represents .

B has 2 out of 6 sections shaded so it

represents . You can also use your times table knowledge to help you identify equivelent fractions. For example:

Both the numerator and denominator have been multiplied by 2. Complete Tuesday’s maths activities.

Top TipsMaths – remember that the denominator tells us how many equal groups the whole is divided into.
