Hi everybody,
Here we are again. The place we really didn't want to be - Lockdown!! but don't worry we are here to help you.
This week (wc. 4.1.21) you will need to continue to access your home learning by hopping over to the remote learning page and do the work for Week 3.There should be 4 pieces of work in your book every day. Please email me photos of your work to the class email address.
From NEXT WEEK (wc.11.1.21), we will be working from Microsoft Teams where everyone will have to log on and meet with me live so I can take the register and go through the lessons for the morning. After lunch we will meet again for afternoon registration to discuss how you have got on and what you will need to do in the afternoon. You will get some more information on this and a video to watch to help you how to do it. It's all new to me too so we can learn together!!
It is important that you do your work. It is not optional or part time but compulsory and in the Upper Juniors you are all very able to show some initiative and work independently. Please try to get into good habits straight away.
Take care everyone.

In maths we are using the column methods for the four operations. Here are some examples:
Addition:
Always line the digits up using place value
Don't forget to add the carry overs
Always write the addition symbol so that you don't forget your calculation
Subtraction:
Always line the digits up using place value
Always write the subtraction symbol
If you cannot take one number from the other, borrow one from the next column.
Multiplication:
Always line the digits up using place value
Always ADD the carried numbers
When you are multiplying by 2d number, always put the place holder '0' to help you multiply by the tens digit.
If you are multiplying by 3d number , always put two place holder '0's to help you multiply by 100.
Division:
If there is a remainder, carry it over to the next column
Use your times table facts to help you divide each digit
Long Division:
Long division works by dealing with the largest column 1st - in the case below the 8 (800).
How many times does 4 go into 8? ... from the 4 times table ..2 x 4 = 8. Write the 2 above the 8 and the result, 8, is written below the 8.
Work out the remainder by subtracting 8 from 8, 8-8=0 Now bring the 5 down to make 05 the next number to divide into.
How many times does 4 go into 5? ... from the 4 times table ..1 x 4 = 4. Write the 1 above the 5 and the result, 4, is written below the 5.
Work out the remainder by subtracting 4 from 5, 5-4=1 Now bring the 6 down to make 16 the next number to divide into.
How many times does 4 go into 16? ... from the 4 times table ..4 x 4 = 16. Write the 4 above the 6 and the result, 16, is written below the 16.
Finally, subtract 16 from 16, 16-16=0, which means that there is no remainder.
The answer is 214 with no remainder.
