Today we are going to look at the 'suitability of a variety of different materials.'
Go through the PowerPoint presentation and think about the uses of everyday material.
Use the activity sheet * and match the materials to their uses.
Then use the pre drawn tables on the activity sheet ** and look at the Uses of Everyday Materials Photo Cards to help identify uses of everyday materials.

Friday 20th November
Literacy
We are now practising to write letters in a cursive style. Look at the Cursive letter formation powerpoint and notice how each letter starts from the line. This will mean that you will probably be forming some letters in a completely new way.
Practise forming the letters g, h and i in a cursive style.
Complete 2 lines of correctly formed letters before moving to the next letter.
Remember that the round part of 'g' should fit within the lower half of the space with the descender coming below the line. The letter 'h' has an ascender so the round part should fit within the lower half of the space, and the stick (ascender) should touch the top line. For the letter 'i', the whole letter will fit within the lower half of the line.
Maths
Today we are going to solve word problems involving multiplication and division, using
materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts. You can draw groups or arrays to solve the problems.
Try the red problems first and then move on to the green and then the blue problems.
