Thursday 7th May
Good Morning everyone,
Today is going to be a little bit different. We will continue with Maths but then I would like you to find out more about VE (Victory over Europe) day, which is a special day that is being celebrated tomorrow.
There are a range of activities to do (just choose 1 or 2) but I would love everybody to make some bunting and we can all look like we are celebrating together. I will then share all the pictures on class story. There are more details below.
Thank you again for all your hard work. You are all Superstars!

Warm-up – Can you practice halving numbers
Pick a number up to 10, can your child recognise the corresponding halving fact? Re-enforce numbers they struggle with practical objects.
When they are confident move onto numbers 12,14,16,18,20.
The aim is for rapid recall. Make links with their double facts
Practice using Hit the button - Halve numbers

Topic
It is 75 years since VE (Victory over Europe) day tomorrow and I would like you to create some bunting. There is a video below which explains all about what VE day is.
Watch the powerpoint below with your child to explain about what VE day is all about.
Your bunting could be printed off or you could make a template (a triangle) using cardboard. I would like you to make the bunting special to you. Can you write messages on it to describe how are you feeling during lock down? Or what have you enjoyed? Or what have you learnt? You could draw a picture of yourself and your family or write messages of support for the key workers. Why not ask your family to make one to and then you could hang it up around your house on Friday?
Below are a range of other activities that you could do to celebrate VE day (Remember, just choose the ones you like best). There will be no additional activities posted tomorrow so you can do some tomorrow if you want!
