This week we will:

• Shared write on an explanatory text
• To write an explanatory text
• Conscience Alley

 

 

 Shared write on an explanatory text

Explanatory text (sometimes called an explanation) is a type of non-fiction text that explains a process (for example, how something works or why something happens)

As a class we will write shared explanation text explaining to Rapunzel how to defeat the witch.

 

To write an explanatory text

Children will use our shared write to write their own explanatory text explaining to Rapunzel how to defeat the witch.

Maths

• • To solve two step problems with money
    
  • To recognise equal groups
    
  • To make equal groups
  • To add equal groups

To solve two step problems with money

A two-step problem is a word problem that requires two operations to solve it. This means that children must be familiar with the vocabulary associated with the mathematical symbols they are used to, in order to make sense of the word problem.
An example of a two-step problem involving money: an orange cost 18p and apple cost 32p. How much change would you get from £1.

To recognise equal groups

 

Children will recognise equal groups as being the same. Equal means the same. The above shows equal groups.

To make equal groups

Children will make equal groups. They have to make groups and ensure they all have the same amount.

 

To add equal groups

 

 

Children will add up equal groups using repeated addition.

Geography

In Geography we are learning about continents and oceans. We are learning about continents first. Children will use atlases and maps to identify the different continents.  We will think about the location of the different continents, key features of the continents and where it is in relation to other continents. Children will continue to develop their skills when using an atlas. We will focus on using an index page.

Other books by Bethan Woollvin include:

 

This week we will:

• Plan a diary entry
• Write a diary entry – focusing on a change in Rapunzel
• Consider the character of Rapunzel
• Explore the features of explanatory text

Plan a diary entry

We will now be Rapunzel and plan a diary. We will use our knowledge of the story so far. After reading more of the text it’s clear that there is a change in Rapunzel’s personality. This change will be reflected when planning our diary entry.

Write a diary entry

The children will use their plan to help them write their diary. A diary is used to show thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Consider the character of Rapunzel

We will read more of the text and add to Rapunzel’s Role on The Wall.

 Explore the features of explanatory text

We will look at explanatory text and we will explore the features. Next week we will write our own explanation text in order to explain to Rapunzel ways in which she can defeat the witch.  Explanatory text (sometimes called an explanation) is a type of non-fiction text that explains a process (for example, how something works or why something happens)

Maths

• • To make the same amount using different notes and coins
  • To compare money
  • To find the total
  • To find the difference between 2 amounts
  • To find change
• To make the same amount using different notes and coins
  Children will develop their understanding of different ways to make the same amount. The children will begin to see that 10p can be made using 2p, 2p, 2p, 2p and 2p or it can be made using 5p and 5p.
• To compare money
  Children will compare different amounts of money

 

• To find the total

Children will add together pence and pounds to find the total amount

• To find the difference between 2 amounts

• To find change
  When you pay someone more than needed, the money they give back to you is the change.Fo, for example, if something costs 30p and you pay with a 50p coin, they could count up in tens to see that 20p change is needed. If something costs 7p and you give them 10p, their number bonds knowledge will suggest that 10 – 7 = 3.

  Children will also need to become familiar with working out change from £1. Give them a scenario where they want to buy a chocolate bar costing 30p. To calculate their change, they need to work out £1 subtract 30p. They could do this using their knowledge of place value.
