Good morning Toucans!
I hope you all had a lovely restful weekend with your families and are ready for another week of home learning.
This week is Children’s Mental Health week where we will celebrate the theme ‘Express Yourself’.
We have attached lots of ‘Well-Being Ideas’ for you to try out this week on our blog. Have a go at the Colour Exploration activity today or try and complete one of the Scavenger Hunts.
Worship
Well-being worship with Mrs Powell
Maths
Subtracting Fractions - Great work last week on finding Equivalent fractions and being able to compare them. I was also impressed by your work on Friday – Adding Fractions. This week we will continue to work on Fractions before we move onto Shape and Geometry next week.
Remember to take a look at some of these Maths games to revise key facts on fractions.

Reading
Toucans, we would love you to read a little each day of the school book you have or a book you have been reading at home.
New edition of First News is on the blog today. I would recommend reading the following articles.

Spellings
This week we will be looking at the spellings ible and able
We will focus on the first 3 words today - reliable, terrible, comfortable,
Write each word out 3 times in your best handwriting.
Circle the ible and able in each word.
Can you write an explanation for each word, maybe put the word in a sentence to explain its meaning?
