This week we have been starting to plan our own adventure for Traction Man, using what we know about the style of the original story to think about a different problem for him to 'solve', as well as new characters and settings, before writing these next week.

We have role-played our adventures using puppets...

 ... in lots of different settings...

...and come up with a story plan!

In Maths this week we have been using the 'part-whole' model to split big numbers (whole numbers) into 2 smaller ones (parts). We have been doing lots of practice using cubes and big part-whole models to help us and have started to record some different number sentences to show our working too!

  

Home Learning

Due Thursday 8th November

This week your home learning task is to practice what we have been learning in Maths this week - using 'part whole' models to partition (split) big numbers into 2 smaller numbers (parts) and writing a number sentence to go with it.

For example: 

The part-whole models are stuck into your home learning books as usual - please come and see me if you are not sure what to do!

Please also take some time to practice this weeks spellings (stuck in reading diaries) and read some of your reading book.
