Week 6

Week 6 has arrived and Key Stage 1 is as busy as ever with lots of exciting learning opportunities around every corner. We are continuing with our Space theme and, at the end of last week, we started to make our own planets out of paper mache ... watch this space for some very messy pictures of Class 3 making the structures for their planets.

This Week ...

Literacy - In literacy this week, we are writing about the planets in our Solar System. We are focusing on extending our sentences by adding super connectives to explain our ideas and add extra information. If you want to find out more information about the planets, have a look at this website ... http://www.planetsforkids.org/.

Challenge ... can you write a super sentence about a planet using one of these connectives ...

• because
• but
• which
• so
• when

Numeracy - In numeracy, we are starting to look at rounding an estimating. We will begin the week by looking at estimating (the skill of making a good guess) and will apply this to estimating numbers on a number line. We will then move onto rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.

Challenge ... can you round these numbers to the nearest 10?
