Today we are considering ways to multiply efficiently. That means finding strategies to help ourselves work our a question that might seem tricky at first. My top tip today is to persevere. If it seems a little tough at first, consider what you can do to help yourself. Can you use different multiplication facts to help yourself?

I have uploaded a sheet with useful strategies.

Science:

How do you know you are alive? What is a living thing? There are seven characteristics of living things. These seven things start with the letters of MRS NERG.  Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Nutrition, Excretion, Respiration, Growth (Respiration is not breathing, but the use of oxygen from the air to help turn food into energy. Breathing is the process of taking air (containing oxygen) into and expelling (containing waste carbon dioxide) from the lungs). Have a look at the PowerPoint below and video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2HDJP10qSQ Then have a go at the worksheet. Challenge: Have a go at making a poster explaining what Mrs Nerg stands for and then drawing pictures/writing an explanation about each process.
