Hello extraordinary Summer Class,
This week in English you will be looking at farm animals and some
fictional stories such as: The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Billy Dogs
Gruff and the Croc’s Big Day. In Mathematics, you will be practising
finding double and half of numbers, multiplication, durations of time
and graphing. This week you will have mild and spicy activities. The
mild activities are the activities that you can all have a go at and the
spicy activities are the challenges, which are encouraged but optional.
In Topic, you will be researching weather around the world and
deciding what you would need to pack if you were to holiday there in
December.
Have a great week of learning and keep up all your hard work!

1. Story time
Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiy3a1v9Q2E. Listen to the
story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
2. Retelling the story
• Look carefully at the six Story Cards.
• Say what is happening in each of the pictures.
• Put the pictures in the correct story order.
• Watch The Billy Goats Gruff again to check what happens in the
story.
• Use the sequenced pictures to help you tell the story to someone
in your family, using your best storyteller voice.
3. Adding captions to pictures.
• Look at Once Upon a Time.
• Read the four captions under the picture. Which caption is the
right one for the picture?
• Write punctuated sentences to go with each of the Two Pictures
from The Billy Goats Gruff.
• Make sure your sentences start with capital letters, end with
full stops and have good finger spaces between words.
Now try this Fun-Time Extra:
• In the story the goats trip, trap and tramp across the bridge.
Which other ‘walking’ verbs do you know? (Walk, run, dash, sprint,
etc.) List these on Trip, Trap, Tramp.
Doubling numbers Support
To double numbers you can use a 10s frame to help you.
If I wanted to double 4, I can do two rows of 4.
Double 4 is the same as 4x2 or 2x4.
We can also see double 4 is 2 less than 10.
So double 4 =8 or 2x4=8
If I wanted to find out what double 12 is.
I can use 10s frames to make 2 lots of 12.
Double 12 is the same as 2 x 12 or 12 x 2.
First double the 10s.
10+10=20
Now double the 1s.
2+2=4
Now add the two answers together.
20+4= 24
Double 12 = 24
which means
2x12 =24 or 12 x 2 =24
To halve 12, you need to:
• Halve the tens
10 ÷ 2 = 5
• Halve the ones
2 ÷ 1 = 1
• Add the numbers together.
5 + 1 = 6

Label the parts of a flower. You can write on the sheet or
draw out the flower on a plain piece of paper to label it.

Dear Troll,
Please can we use your bridge?
We have no food to eat and are very hungry. Did you hear our
tummies rumbling last night?
We saw that there is tasty grass opposite our field but need to
cross the stream to reach it. It looks delicious!
We will walk quietly over the bridge and make sure our hooves are
very clean, so we don’t make a mess.
Love from,
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
P.S. We will make sure there is plenty of grass left for you!

Spelling Plurals
When we have just one of a noun (name of a thing or an object), we
say that the noun is singular – a goat.
When we have more than one of a noun we say that the noun is plural
– three goats.
With most nouns, when you write them in the plural you add either s
or es to the word’s end – two pencils, some pens, lots of boxes, a few
crosses.
But how do you know whether to add es or s?
Just follow this simple rule....
If your noun ends in ch, sh, x, s, ss or z you add
es.
If your noun ends with any other letters, you just
add s.
1. Croc’s Big Day
Croc was waiting silently in the river when a fox crept out of a bush
and looked carefully around. In its mouth the fox was carrying a
short branch, all covered in moss. The fox waited in a patch of
sunshine and listened to the buzz of a solitary bee. Croc swam closer,
ready to scare away the fox. With one swish of its tail the fox
jumped forward and fixed the piece of wood in poor old Croc’s jaw,
just like the dogs had told him to. It worked! Poor Croc was stuck
once again with his mouth open and his teeth shining in the sun. Fox
meanwhile padded along the branch across the stream and headed off
into the wood, hoping to find a lunchbox so that he could pinch a little
bit of food.
The Troll...
The Troll is short and ugly and bald, with blotchy purple skin and big
bulging eyes. He has pointy ears and a sharp tooth like a fang that
comes out of his mouth, even when it is closed. His nose is long and
bulbous and he always carries a big thick stick to frighten people –
and goats!
... and the Crocodile!
The Crocodile has green scaly skin and a long, frightening mouth filled
with sharp, white teeth and a rough, pink tongue. His eyes never blink
so he can always spot troublesome dogs trying to sneak across the
river. His legs are short and squat but he can move like lightening
when he needs to. He has a thick, powerful tail to help him swim
through the water.
3. What’s under the bridge?
Who is scariest, the Troll or the Crocodile?
Yikes!
