Your learning for today is about subtracting mixed numbers. A mixed number is a whole number and a fraction amount.
Reading
Read these four stories from First News and answer the questions.
Art: Banksy
Banksy is one of my favourite artists because I like the graffiti style and I like the fact that he makes a statement about current issues in society through his art work. He is also controversial and not everybody approves of his street art.
Task: read this information about Bansky and answer the questions on each page. Then, design your own piece of artwork in the style of Banksy on this sheet or on a piece of paper at home.
I would really like it if you could email me your drawings, so I can see your ideas.

Morning!
The teachers at school have been talking to some families who are continuing to learn from home recently. There was a common topic of conversation : this is all dragging on and becoming quite tricky at times!
It has been a long time since we have all been back at school with our classes and we understand that home learning is challenging. Here are a few links that might help if you are wanting more activities to engage your child.
Top Marks is great for working on all number facts and you can try to improve your own score. We use this in school on iPads but can also be played on laptops : https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
Numbots and Times Table Rockstars passwords are the same : https://play.numbots.com/#/intro or https://ttrockstars.com/ Email your teacher if you have lost it.
Loads of resources on here including reading : https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resources/parents
For reading and phonics games : https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/
Maths teaching videos and other resources : https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/
Variety of lessons, recorded by teachers : https://classroom.thenational.academy/
We love Go Noodle for a sing and dance : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2YBT7HYqCbbvzu3kKZ3wnw
Or Cosmic Yoga Kids for a more relaxing workout : https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga
Please ring school or email your child’s teacher if you need support and we will try to help.
Weekly spellings :
Y1 : play, today, away, spray, beans, dream, seat, mean
Y2 : cry, fly, dry, try, reply, July, baby, funny, lucky, bunny
Times tables : Choose any times tables and division facts that you want to work on.
Maths
Watch the video about adding 2 two digit numbers – crossing ten : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cY1qlvCHom
Choose 2 or more items from the shop and add them together. Use what you know about adding one and two digit numbers together to help. You might want to draw the tens and ones, draw a part whole model or partition the numbers.
Reading
Watch and read the Gerald the Giraffe story. Lots of our learning this week will be linked to this story : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cY1qlNCHFR
Topic – Living and Learning
Watch the video and think about what you could do to make the world a fair place to be where everyone is equal : https://metro.co.uk/2020/06/12/cbeebies-parents-message-racism-12844374/
You could make a poster, draw a picture or write about how you would make the world fair.
In the Cbeebies house we say that everyone is welcome, because we believe that everyone is different and that everyone is equal. It doesn’t matter what you look like, what you sound like or where you come from. Some people are treated unfairly just because of the colour of their skin, and they shouldn’t be. I know that seeing a person for who they really are, and how they make you feel, is beautiful. And I think that it’s really important to talk to your friends and family about these things too, because when we work together we can create change and we can build a better and kinder world for the future and I’m hopeful for that because I believe in you. Because one day, you will be older and you will be looking after the world and all the people in it.
