Warm Wishes for Wednesday

Hi everyone, you are going so well with your online learning.  I am really proud.  I will post a video soon.
Maths:
Times tables practice:
Spend time practising the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x tables during the next few days.  You can do this using Studyladder (there are heaps of activities), and/or by clicking on the Multiplication Facts – Test Yourself link and/or by playing the game below:
Maths version of Rock, Paper, Scissors
Two players sit opposite each other and like the game Rock, Scissors, Paper they hold closed fists and count together to 3. Then they open their hands and show a number of fingers. The first person to correctly multiply the number of fingers each person is showing wins a point. Make sure numbers over 5 are displayed using all the fingers on one hand and some from the other hand. Start with one hand each first, for a while.

Exercise:
Revisit the What’s your name? workout.  Today’s words are:
·      Lockdown
·      Social Distance
·      Family Bubble
·      Online learning
Aim to work through two of these words.

And/or:
Next week we are introducing some walking or running training for the school cross country.  Silone has set up a competition, not just for the fastest or who runs the furthest but for reasons like getting others in your bubble involved and for meeting personal challenges.  More details to come.  So in the meanwhile aim to work out for 5 - 6 minutes non-stop (this could be 2 Jump Jam songs, a brisk family walk or a bike ride – you choose)
Be Creative:
Watch the flip book link under Useful Websites and create a wordless story of your own or you could try to capture action like a car moving or a ball bouncing. 

Read or write:
Complete the Quirky Quiz #3 created by Mrs Alexander.  Link under Useful Websites.  You will need to record these on a piece of paper or on another doc.  Feel free to send to me or check the answers with family members.
And/or…
Listen to the Peter Bland’s poem Listening under Useful Websites and have a go at creating a similar poem of your own by following Peter Bland’s model and filling in the gaps of the second model (see below).  You need to be thinking about strong verbs and consider the range of sounds you could possibly hear.  I would love to read and publish your poems
