Guten Morgen, Jahr Ein!
Anyone know what language that is?
I’ve taught myself a few words from a different language. Have you learnt anything new whilst being in isolation?
If so, please email me and i’ll share it on our Class News page!
Onto today’s tasks…
Writing
In yesterday’s reading task, I asked you to choose a character from a story and write words about them.
For today’s writing task, I want you to put those words into sentences. When writing your sentences, use ‘and’ to join words together.
E.g.
George is kind and caring.
He is friendly and helpful.
George is thoughtful and selfless.
He is big and tall.
Remember to use:
- Capital letters
- Finger spaces
- Full stops
Maths
Today’s task is about partitioning a number into tens and ones.
It is important to understand how a number is made up of tens and ones, e.g. 34 = 3 tens and 4 ones.
Look at the examples below:

Complete the part-part whole models below by drawing how many tens and ones each number has.

Now, complete the sentences below.
12 has _____ ten and ___ ones.
29 has _____ tens and ___ ones.
30 has _____ tens and ___ ones.
49 has _____ tens and ___ ones.
