Remote Learning - Day One
Maths
Related Facts - use their knowledge of number bonds within 10 to identify related facts for both addition and subtraction calculations. If children know that 2 + 5 = 7, then they should be able to use this knowledge to state that 20 + 50 = 70.

VIPERS - Vocabulary
The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson.
Read the following sentences from the story and talk to your grown up about what you think the meaning of each of the words in bold.
The sea snail slithered all over the rock.
But the tiny snail sighed and sniffed, then cried, "I've got it! I'll hitch a lift!"
When the tide was high and the stars were bright. A humpback whale, immensely long, who sang to the snail a wonderful song.
These are the waves that arched and crashed, that foamed and frolicked and sprayed and splashed.
Now you have a go at writing each of these words in your own sentences.
