Please see details of the remote learning for Caradoc Class for Friday 9th January 2026 due to closure.
Below is an English, Maths and topic activity for completion.
English
Following on from Thursdays english lesson, the children should write a paragraph (5-6 sentences) about Rivers which could go into their newspaper article for Monday’s lesson. They can also come up with some ideas/options for a heading for their newspaper article about rivers.
On Thursday we discussed what things you would see in a newspaper article (3rd person writing, images, title, paragraphs, factual information) and what their newspaper article could be about – listed below.
Your newspaper article could be about:
- A specific river e.g. River Thames, River Nile
- A local river e.g. River Tern (Market Drayton) or River Severn (Shrewsbury)
- Rivers in general where you could talk about multiple rivers and their feature
I have added some examples of Newspaper articles below that we looked at yesterday.

Maths
The maths activity will be a consolidation from last terms learning so they will have done it before. They can also practice times tables, using the songs on YouTube.
Year 2: Last term we looked at repeated addition. The children need to know that 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 is the same as 4 x 4. I have attached a worksheet where they have to use the image to complete the repeated addition and multiplication number sentences.
worksheet-questions[1]
worksheet-answers[1]
Year 3: Last term we looked at measure. I have added an activity where the children need to look at the jugs and estimate how much liquid is in the jug. This should be done in litres and millilitres where possible. They can choose one worksheet or all if they want to, the first is the simpliest and they get progresively harder. The answers are attached at the bottom.
