The week ahead

Of course we're all looking forward to our Ancient Greek Olympics day on Thursday. The children have planned the day and we're looking forward to seeing their costumes on the day

Linking in with this,the children will be making 'Horrible Histories' style comedy sketches in Literacy. This is part of the play scripts genre. We will be filming the sketches to use as part of our class assembly.
The success criteria are as follows:

Our script includes a cast list at the start.

It has a narrator.

The speakers’ names are on the left.

We have not used speech marks.

We started a new line for each new speech.

Our play script has scenes.

We wrote stage directions in brackets.

We used adverbs and powerful verbs.

Maths. This week we will be using our knowledge of place value to speed up our mental addition and subtraction.

Congratulations to the children who climbed up a bit higher up tables mountain last week. Who will be climbing this week?

The success criteria are:

Add or subtract 1s, 10s or 100s to a 3-digit number, without crossing the tens or hundreds boundary

Add a near multiple of 10 to a 2-digit number e.g. 35+29(30)

Add a near multiple of 10 or 100 to a 3-digit number without crossing the tens or hundreds boundary.

Subtract a near multiple of 10 or 100 from a 3-digit number without crossing the tens or hundreds boundary..

Decide on the most efficient mental methods
