Hello and happy Thursday! Today, we have set Maths, History and Spanish tasks for you.

Captain Tom Moore is a WW2 veteran who has raised over £29 million for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden. Today is his 100th birthday!

Your task is to research what life was like in Britain 100 years ago in 1920!
Some questions you might want to consider are:

• What were houses like in 1920?

Morning! Today you have been set a Maths and English activity. After that you can choose to do handwriting, spellings and/or reading. In the packs you took home, you were given a list of spelling strategies to help you practice - you could do handwriting within your spelling practice. 

Your reading activity may be: having some quiet time reading alone, reading to your parents or siblings or creating a book review.

Maths: Multiply 2 digit numbers by 1 digit. 

Remember: start from the ones and carry over if the answer is more than 10.

Red group: can you practice making equal groups. You could use items in your house to help you e.g. chocolate buttons, lego, pencils etc.

English: Use the picture to help you finish the story - can you include exciting vocabulary, fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases? 

Can you draw another place the girl might visit on her adventure in the bath? (Or somewhere you would like to visit in your own bath adventure). 

Reading/ spelling / handwriting support:
