Task 4a Guided Reading: The Lion and the Unicorn by Shirley Hughes

Look at the front cover. Can you predict what the

book will be about? Write two or three sentences

to explain your ideas.

Below is a copy of the first page of this book:

1) How does this picture make you feel?

2) Read the first page. What do you think was happening in London at that moment in time?

Use evidence from the text to support your ideas. (Use point, evidence, explanation to

answer this question).

3) Which words help the reader to understand what kinds of sounds (onomatopoeia) were

being heard in London at this time?

4) At what time of day were the bombings taking place?

Task 5a: Use conjunctions in a sentence

Roll a dice and find the corresponding conjunction. Write a sentence using that conjunction in

your exercise book. Roll the die till you get sentences with all 6 conjunctions.

Because

“I grabbed the pen because it was about to fall.”

If

“Ben wouldn’t drink coffee if it had sugar in it.”

As well as

“There are sweets at the fair as well as rides.”

So

“I know you must be tired, so I will let you rest.”

Use any conjunction at the beginning of the sentence:

“Although he wasn’t feeling very well, Ben ran the race as fast as he could.”

Task 1b Place Value Grid:

This is just an example – you don’t need to print this out. Just copy into your books.

Task 1b: Multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000:

Copy the answers to these questions into your books.

Fluency Reasoning Problem Solving

Solve:

34 x 10 =

294 x 100

12 x 1000 =

89 ÷ 10 =

740 ÷ 100 =

28100 ÷ 1000 =

Fill in the gaps:

3790 x _____ = 379000

3790 ÷ _____ = 379

_____ x 1000 = 497200

_____ ÷ 10 = 6.8

Claire says ‘When you multiply

a number by 10, you just add

a zero and when you multiply

by 100 you add two zeroes’

Do you agree? Explain your

answer.

6 x 7 = 42

How can you use this fact to

solve the following

calculations?

4200 ÷ 70 =

0.6 x 7 =

Can you write three different questions that

could make each of these numbers by

multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 or 1000?

5890, 40, 67000, 2000, 56

The first one has been done for you:

1) 589 x 10 = 5890

2) 58900 ÷ 100 = 5890

3) 58.9 x 100 = 5890

David has £35,700 in his bank. Step 1: He
