Maths

Warm-up – Continue counting forwards and backwards in twos. When they are confident, start from different starting points e.g 6, 8, 10 … or  16,14,12…

Children can then recognise you can count in twos starting from an odd number e.g 1,3,5

Literacy

This week we are going to read a new story called The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffries. It is about a little boy who builds himself a rocket and goes off to space. See powerpoint below.

Think about what questions you would like to ask him. Can you use question words – Who, Why and What. Can you write up to 3 sentences? Remember to use question marks.

Watch the short video on bbc bitesize about question marks to support you.
