I can subtract.
I would like you to show me what you have learnt about subtraction. Be as creative as you like, but ensure that you show off your subtraction skills.
We thought of a few ideas as a class:
- Design a subtraction board game.
- Make a poster explaining how to solve subtraction problems.
- Show off your skills by solving some challenging subtraction problems.
- Make a video explaining how to do a subtraction calculation using a strategy.
Have fun. I will look forward to a subtraction bonanza on Wednesday!

They should also talk about why their friends should feel good about themselves.

The homework this week is talk time and is due in Wednesday 23 March.
I can talk about what ‘Red Nose Day’ means to me.
Red Nose Day will impact on the children in many different ways, and this a brilliant opportunity to discuss your child’s thoughts and feelings about the world around them.
As this is talk time homework, I would like to remind you that it is not necessary for your child to come up with something creative and artistic. A few simple notes on the discussion you’ve had with your child will suffice. However, it’s a good idea to think about some new wow words and openers that can be used in the talk time at home, at school and in the future eg
- Although I liked it, …
- My opinion is that …
- I prefer …
- Comic Relief can raise substantial amounts …
- The money raised might considerably improve …
