LO: To select and use the most efficient method of subtraction
The last few lessons have looked at column subtraction. In today's lesson you will think about other methods of subtracting numbers so that you can select the most efficient method to do a calculation. That means a method that is going to be accurate but can be done in the minimum amount of time. To be able to do this, the lesson reminds you of the ways you can subtract that do not use the written method. They are all ones that you have learnt before.

LO: To research Victorian schools
In I Was a Rat, Roger got caned by the Head Master when he was in school. Today you are going to be researching and finding out about Victorian schools. Back in the 1800s being in school was a very different experience.
Your key questions for today:
- Would you have liked to be a pupil in Victorian school, and why?
- In what ways was school different back then to your experience in school today?
Here are some websites to carry out your research:
https://www.stmichaelsprimary.bournemouth.sch.uk/victorian-school-life/
http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/victorians/children/schools.htm
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zxwxvcw/articles/zvm3pg8
Remember, if you are going to search for further information online, put in 'information for children' along with the subject, so you get child-friendly information.
You can present your research however you like.
