Maths
Using a Calendar
Do you know what the first day of the week is and the last? Do they know the special names for Saturday and Sunday? How about the special names for the other days of the week?
Now look at this calendar for the whole year. Look for similarities and differences between each month (e.g. number of days). Discuss the number of months in a year; which is the first and the last month of the year and so on. Ask them about their birthdays.
Now have a go at page 112 in your Workbook.
Journal Job:
You will need your red book and a calendar. You can use one from home or print out the one from below…
We would like you to find some important events on your calendar and write the dates, (including the day of the week) into your red book. Here are some ideas…
Your Birthday
Your Family’s birthdays
Christmas Day / Halloween / Bonfire Night… or any other date you would like to include!
If you want even more maths… have a go at this…

Hokusai’s Great Wave
Hokusai was an artist who was born in Japan about 250 years ago.
His most famous work of art was ‘The Great Wave’ – a woodblock print. Have a look at it below:
Talk to someone at home about the picture – what colours has the artist used? How has he made the water look like it is moving?
Look even more carefully – what else can you spot in the ocean?
Do you see something in the background where the land would be?
This is Mount Fuji – the highest mountain in Japan. It is also a volcano.
Hokusai created a series of woodblock prints called ‘36 views of Mount Fuji’. They show landscapes and the everyday lives of people in Japan around 200 years ago. Have a look at the pictures – can you spot Mount Fuji in each one?
You might feel like creating your own piece of wave-inspired art, maybe using some of the tints and shades of blue you explored during Monday’s art session. Remember to share your work, we’d love to see it!
