Homework

This week, we'd like you to reflect on your multiplication skills. What do you still need to practise? Which multiplication facts are still catching you out? How are you going to make sure that you know these facts?

Practise your times tables up to 12 x 12. Ask a grown up, sibling or friend to test you! Write down the facts that you need to practise and learn them by heart.

 

After that, you can pick a number (any number) and complete the following calculations:

• Add 17.
• Double it.
• Multiply by 10.
• Halve it.
• Subtract 7.
• Multiply by 6
• Square it. (multiply it by itself e.g. 4 x 4 = 16)
• Find its factors ( factors are numbers that we multiply together to make another number e.g. 2 and 3 are factors of 6 because 2 x 3 =6)
• Divide it by 4. 

In addition, you can practise your short and/or long multiplication. Pick any numbers to make multiplication calculations:

2-digit by 1 digit e.g. 24 x 6 = ?

3-digit by 1 digit e.g. 176 x 3 = ?

4-digit by 1-digit e.g. 2633 x 5 = ?

2-digit by 2-digit e.g. 33 x 13 = ?

3-digit by 2-digit e.g. 246 x 28 = ?

4-digit by 2-digit e.g. 7342 x 13 = ? 

Homework

Cave Paintings

We have had lots of fun learning about cave paintings this week. The children looked at the different examples that have been found in countries such as Spain and France and then used these as inspiration to create their own.
They looked wonderful and the children thoroughly enjoyed exploring ways to make their pictures appear aged by adding 'cracks' and experimenting with texture and colour!

Diary Writing

This week we have been writing diary entries from the perspective of Torak from our class book, Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver. In order to do this effectively, the children have participated in lots of drama activities. They used freeze frames and hot-seating to explore how Torak felt at significant moments in the text and used this as a basis for their writing.
The children were fantastic! They showed a real understanding of the character's motives. We think we may have some future Oscar winners here at Iveson!
