Friday 1st May
Good morning everyone.
Maths No Problem
1st Answer pages for Thursday’s Lesson 18
Today we start a new chapter all about Money
Today’s lesson: Chapter 9 Money … Lesson 1 – Writing amounts of money
Lesson Objective: To be able to write amounts of money as decimals.
Textbook pages: 60 – 62 Workbook pages 43 – 44
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and state that Ruby is not sure whether or not she has enough money to pay for the smoothie. How much does the smoothie cost? How much does Ruby have? Work through Let’s Learn to show the class how to answer the problem.
Start by asking pupils how many 10p make £1. Then display the image that shows there are ten 10p in £1. How can we write 10p using £? Show pupils how to write this as a fraction and then as a decimal. 10p can be written as £0.10. How many 10p coins does Ruby have? How can we write that amount? Spend some time discussing the equivalence between 10p and £0.1 and 1⁄10 with different examples to ensure pupils make the link between prior learning and new learning.
Does Ruby have enough money for the smoothie? How do you know? What other way can we write the price of the smoothie or the amount of money she has? Guide pupils to see that when money is written in decimal notation using £, the number before the decimal point shows the pounds and the number after the decimal point shows the pence. Also highlight that £1 and 10p is written as £1.10 and not £1.1.
During Guided Practice, pupils are writing money in £ using decimal notation.

If you want some more maths to do, or perhaps a break from Maths No Problem, go to the link below. It is by White Rose Maths who have created some video lessons and associated worksheets (+answer sheets) for each year group. It is very good and self-explanatory. Have a look and see what you think.

Writing Task
We will continue with the Talk for Writing – King of the Fishes
Today I would like you to:
1st … how good are you at story telling the King of Fishes? Do you need to practice it a bit more?
If you are confident in telling the story with great expression and maybe some actions, you could (if you want to) video yourself telling it and email it to me. I’d love to see how you are getting on and I’ll post them onto the class blog.
2nd Have a go at writing your innovated story using the plan you made yesterday. We are going to write 1 section at a time. Have a look at page 19.
You might be tempted to write the whole story in one go but I suggest you stick to doing just the first section today, remembering all the writer’s tools to make this section hook the reader.
Good luck.
Spellings
