Core Work

Please watch the following two videos on subtraction and then carry out the independent activities. You need to focus on your own starting point for the activities. Think carefully when you make your choice as you don't want it being too easy or too hard. 





Independent work

Please remember to start at an appropriate task for your mathematical ability. You may want to challenge yourself and complete all 3 tasks.






English

Use the following link to read about direct and indirect speech. You must also watch the videos that are on the link as they will help you to understand how and when speech marks are used for speech.

Below is a link Mrs. Smith has prepared taking you through the steps required to use direct and indirect speech. 



Speech Marks

Look at these sentences, put the speech marks into the correct place.
Here is an example for you to look at.

How far away is Paris? asked the man.
“How far away is Paris?” asked the man.

1. My name is Jane, said the girl.
2. David said, When it is 3 0’clock I can go to the park.
3. Can you tell me what time it is? asked Peter.
4. I like it when the weather is nice, said the old woman.
5. I’ve lost my ball in the garden! shouted the boy.
6. My friend’s named is Susan, explained the girl.
7. Hello there! she said.
8. What time is the party? asked Paul.
9. The man said, It was a cold rainy night when I lost my cat.
10. Please can I have some sweets? asked Jenny.
11. Where are you? called the woman.
12. John said, It is time for my favourite TV programme.





Can you make up some sentences of your own using speech marks? Once you feel confident using the basic speech marks have a go at the sentences below.












Direct speech and reported speech 

Change these examples of reported speech into direct speech:

She asked whether she could go to see the butterfly exhibition.

The policeman asked the woman whether she had seen the robber’s face.

Change these examples of direct speech into reported speech:

“ How many times does the miniature railway run on a Sunday?” the little girl asked the park keeper.


“ The  Helter Skelter is my favourite fairground attraction,” stated the little boy to his friend.

Remember to join our class zoom meetings at 8am each morning if you can. If possible email through your daily work so the teachers can see how you are getting on and give you some feedback. You can send a photo, scan or document as an attachment directly to your class teacher.

You should continue to work on your topic work from yesterday putting together a presentation on the phases of the moon.

See as many of you as we can at  8am.
