Can I write dialogue? Using the resources on Tapestry, familiarise yourself with Cosmic. Think about how Liam’s Dad would be feeling after Liam had been missing for over 2 hours – word collect ideas for what he might say to Liam. Use the success criteria (on Tapestry) to write the dialogue between Liam and his Dad at this point in the story. Can I plan for dialogue to advance the action? Imagine yourself as Liam pretending to be a grown-up – what would you want to do the most? How would you be feeling if you managed to pretend to be an adult successfully? What would your body language be showing? Mind map some ideas for different scenarios, making a note of ambitious vocabulary and how you are going to show not tell your reader. Can I balance narrative and dialogue? You need to choose one of your ideas from yesterday that you are going to write as a scene. You need to think carefully about how you are going to use the show not tell technique to give clues to your reader and what dialogue is going to be spoken by Liam and another person. Remember – there needs to be a balance between dialogue and narrative! Can I read and respond to a text? Listen the recording of the story up and use the Power Points on Tapestry to answer questions about what has been read. |

Can I recognise decimal numbers in sequence? Look at decimal sequences and create simple rules. For example: adding 0.5. What does increasing and decreasing mean? Is the sequence increasing? By how much?
|
Can I find percentages of an amount? (Part 1) Children need to understand percentages as parts of 100 and that the whole amount is 100%, therefore when finding 1% we divide by 100. How many other ways could you find 25%? Which is the most effective?
|
Can I find percentages of an amount? (Part 2) Children use different representations to find percentages of amounts. For example 50%, 25%, 10%, 1%. Develop a deep understanding of why you can divide by ten to find 10%, but you do not divide by 25 to find 25%. |
Can I solve problems involving percentages and missing amounts? Use understanding of finding percentages of amounts to find missing values. You may choose to use a bar model to support understanding and structure ideas. See that there may be more than one way to solve a problem and that some methods are more efficient than others.

Using the 2Do in Purple Mash called Picture-based Quiz design a simple quiz for EYFS/Year 1 pupils. There are some examples of such quizzes in use within Purple Mash.
