Maths
As we have started our learning on multiplication, below is a link to a fun combination game. Think systematically to be effective and use the grid at the bottom of the webpage to draw out the ‘sets’ of coloured cups and saucers. If you are finding this tricky- change the problem to only white, red and blue cups then complete on a grid of 12 boxes. If you would like a challenge, add one extra colour and another row to your grid!
Remember that Sumdog and Times tables rockstars have also been updated with activities.

- Smiles collage (challenge: label each type of tooth you made)
