Literacy - Phonics – scaffold text.  I’m Sure (sh sound)

Numeracy – Rounding Numbers  to the nearest 10 and 100.

We had previously been taught “4 to the floor, high 5”  to help us with rounding.

Remind children if rounding to the nearest 10 and the unit is 4 or below, you round down.  

E.g.     44 – round to 40       “4 TO THE FLOOR” means you round DOWN

If rounding to the nearest 10 and the unit is 5 or above you round up. 

E.g. 86 – round to 90           “HIGH 5”  means you round UP

When rounding to the nearest 100 and the ten is 4 or below, you round down.  

E.g.     447 – round to 400   

When rounding to the nearest 100 and the ten is 5 or above you round up. 

E.g.  678 – round to 700

Remember the rhyme!  If it helps you can write out the 2 tens or 2 hundreds the number lies between.

44 lies between 40 and 50, but closer to 40

86 lies between 80 and 90, but closer to 90.

447 lies between 400 and 500, but closer to 400

678 lies between 600 and 700, but closer to 700

Literacy – Conjunctions  this is a word that joins two sentences together; e.g. because, although, while.

For example; two simple sentences; Holly was sick.  She ate too much ice-cream. 

They can be joined to make a longer sentence; Holly was sick because she ate too much ice-cream.
