Christmas Colouring Competition

Preparation:

• Enlarge the sheet to A3
• Copy for each pupil plus spares!
• Lots of coloured felts or pencils on desks

What?

•  You need to colour the A3 sheet.
• You will need to add your name onto the design, around the edge. It needs to be large and clear to be seen from a distance.
• You can add patterns, texture, shading to any part of the picture.  For example, maybe you have added a pattern to the walls (wallpaper) or made wrapping paper look Christmassy.
• The more effort and time you spend planning and colouring, the better your colouring will be.

Why?

• We use these designs as our place mats for the Christmas lunch.
• It is a mindfulness activity, which can give us some focus, stillness and peace in a busy time of year.  This is good for you.
• It's a competition and this is the prize!

Maths

LO: To use formal written multiplication

• Today, you will be pairing up, to teach each other how to use the formal written method of multiplication.
• Year 6 have covered this before and have some tricks and tips to help us.
• Let's start with HOW TO DO IT.
• Thankfully here is a video I made earlier.

• Now you've seen how, I would like those that KNOW they can do this to sit with someone who DOESN'T KNOW YET if they can do it.
• Work together to make sure the 'peer tutor' is teaching the best that they can and the 'peer learner' is learning the best that they can.

TIPS

• Ask each other questions if you are stuck.
• Ask others if you are both stuck.
• Watch the video a few times.
• Treat learning this like you would a video game - if you don't succeed the first time, pick yourself up and try again.  It's all progress and experience.
• Use those times tables tricks!
