Good morning Team Sapphire and Team Cornflower!

Here is your learning for today.

Reading: For today’s reading we would like you to complete the Halloween sheet that is attached. Remember that there are three different levels, so please complete the level you think best suits your ability.

 

Writing: Today you will be writing the next section in your Troll information pack. This will have the subheading: Troll Facts. You will need to write at least four facts about trolls in your own words, using the four different sentence types.

Remember, the four different sentence types are: Exclamation, Command, Question and Statement.

Try to make sure you have at least one command and exclamation in your writing. You should be able to fit in plenty of questions and statements. Below are a few facts about trolls for you to use. Feel free to look up your own facts and include them in your writing.

 

1. Originally trolls existed only in Scandinavia. England had goblins and many other creatures, but no trolls. The 3 Billy Goats Gruff  and the Norwegian trolls went viral in Britain and America.
2. Norwegian trolls sometimes have more than 1 head. The number of heads can often be divided by three – 3, 6, 9, 12.
3. If you’re attacked by a troll, the best way to survive is to keep talking! Trolls are not too clever. In the story Askeladden who had an eating contest with the troll, the boy Askeladden convinces the troll that punching yourself in the belly is a great way to renew your appetite.
4. Trolls are only active at night. Keep entertaining the troll until sunrise, and it will turn to stone.

 

Maths

Today you will have a go at using your knowledge of numbers to estimate numbers on number lines.

Some of the questions today will ask you to think about the mid-point on a number line. Think about what number will be right in the middle between 2 numbers. 

For example, on a number line 0 to 10, 5 is the mid-point.

0                                                                                                         5                                                                                                     10

On a number line where the first number isn't 0, you need to think more carefully.

Look at this number line:

300                                                                                                                                                                                                         400

We know that half way between 0 and 100 is 50.

So halfway between 100 and 200 is 150.

So we can look at the number line above and halfway between 300 and 400 will be 350.

Have a go at one of the challenges on the worksheets below. They are quite challenging today so you may like to start on mild or spicy!

Choose the one that is best for your level.
