Math 
Rapid Recap: 

Can you write the multiplication calculation that matches the array? (an array is a number of rows with the same number of each row, the x calculation is the numbers and symbols) 

1) *******        2)   # # # # # #       3) + + + + +       4) oooooooo      5) xxx         6) ^ ^ ^ ^         7) DD 
     *******              # # # # # #            + + + + +            oooooooo         xxx              ^ ^ ^ ^              DD 
     *******              # # # # # #                                       oooooooo         xxx              ^ ^ ^ ^ 
                                  # # # # # #                                                                  xxx               ^ ^ ^ ^ 
                                                                                                                        xxx 

                   

I am learning to use bar model 

A bar model is a useful way of problem solving all sorts of calculations. The bar model works similarly to part-part-whole model which the children are very familiar with. The bar model shows the whole number as one long bar and the other sections (below or sometimes above) indicate the parts that make up the whole.  It is a way to understand known and unknown quantities in a number problem. 

e.g. 

                                              ? 

                         2 

                         2 

                            2 

2+2+2=?     or       3x2=? 

Fill in the Bar model sheet attached. The parts are the known quantities, but what is the whole number (unknown)?

Topic I know a local significant person. 

Take a look at the PDF file Local significant people and events. I have included some famous or important people that have lived or stayed locally throughout history.  

Your task, for when you are next outdoors, is to look out for Blue Plaques on houses and buildings. These Plaques indicate if and when an important person visited, lived or stayed there. Perhaps take a picture or make a note of the ones you see so that you can look up who they were once you are home. On Monday your task will be to write about one significant person from your local area.  
Below I have attached some information about a few of the famous people who have lived or stayed locally.
