Numeracy

On Friday we always recap our learning so far in numeracy, have a go at these Arithmetic questions which cover all four calculations. Think about the methods we have looked at in class.

We would also like you to spend some time practising your times tables, you could challenge yourself by timing how long it takes for you to fill in this multiplication square. Can you repeat it and beat your time?

This afternoon we will be continuing our art topic, we looked at the artist Claude Monet.

You can remind yourself about him by reading through this Monet fact file.

Monet liked to paint the same scene at different times of the day to capture different lights. Look carefully at these two paintings, they are both of the houses of parliament but they look very different. When do you think each one was painted? Can you make a list of the similarities and differences?

Now have a go at creating your own Houses of Parliament picture, think carefully about the colours to use. You can use any media you like – crayon, felt tips or paint.
