Seek the Sound

One day, Ned decided that it was time to follow his dreams and try. He gave his armour a shine, he made himself some fried egg sandwiches for breakfast, he packed a slice of pie for lunch and then he set off to the royal castle high in the hills. Five hours into his journey, Ned was deep inside a forest. Suddenly, he heard someone crying nearby. Sitting in the bright sunshine. He saw a bride in tears sitting on a log. “Why are you crying out here and all alone?” “Oh dear,” sighed the bride. “I am supposed to be getting married tonight but I am lost in these woods. I can’t find a way out because  I don’t know which is the right way! I have tried and tried. I am so frightened!” “Never mind,” said Ned, “I have a good idea.” He helped the bride to find her way. “You are so kind!” replied the bride.

On Friday Kate and Jane went camping. Kate’s dad made steak and chips for tea. Then Jane made a birthday card for Jay. Suddenly it began to rain. It was so wet outside that the girls couldn’t go out and play.  Instead Jane and Kate made up their own games. It was great fun. On Sunday afternoon it was Jay’s birthday.

MATHS

This week your maths focus is addition. 

Method 1: 
3 + 5 =  
We put the big number in our head. We will put 5 in our head. 
We are adding 3 so we need that many fingers.
We tap our heads as we say 5 and then put one finger down as we say 6, 7, 8. 
3 + 5 = 8.
Method 2: 
7 + _ = 10  
We count on from 7 and stop when we get to 10. We tap our heads as we say 7 and then put up one finger as we say each number 8, 9, 10.
We have 3 fingers up so,  
7 + 3 =10

* We know our number bonds for 10 and 20 well so may not need to use a method to work out the answers to the questions. Method 2 can therefore be used to check our answers.
