Once you have read the book can you choose 2 of your favourite characters from the story and write some sentences to describe them!
Money (making the same amount)
Start by looking at, listing or drawing all of the different coins and notes.
Start with the coins and see how many different ways you can make the same amount of money. Move on to notes and coins.
Example:
See below for further ideas.
Does an orange float or sink?
Make a prediction to whether you think dropping an orange into a bowl of cold water will float or sink? Explain why you think this.
What if we took off the orange peel – make another prediction. Do you think it will float or sink and give a reason why?
Fill a small bucket/box with cold water and drop in orange with peel on.
Next take off the orange peel and drop back in the water.
What were your results?
Were they different form your predictions? Why?
Computing:
Can you research what the 5 rings represent in the Olympics?
Tuesday Can you make your very own supertato?? Once you have made it could write some speech bubbles from his mouth? Think carefully about what Supertato might say.
Addition (money)
Can you create your own number sentences and word problems ?
