Good morning Toucans.
Nearly at the end of this very busy and strange term. You have truly made us proud of all your hard work and we know you are all tired and looking forward to a break now. Not long to go, so let’s cross that finishing line on Friday with one last spurt to produce fantastic home learning.
Maths
Volume of a Cuboid – This is a Year 6 objective so you won’t have come across it before. Just listen carefully to the audio on each slide and look carefully at the diagrams to help you today.
Have fun with this interactive game to create cubes and to find volume.

Please watch this video if you can’t access the audio on the PowerPoint. Remember to just pause it when needed and you can play back too if required.
If you have your Maths CGP book please complete pages 64 and 65 on Volume or see the Word document attached to the blog, including the answers for you to self-check.

Fans of Harry Potter? Here is a quiz to try.
CWAC Libraries are running a ‘Harry Potter quiz’ which begins today until the end of half term. There’s a £10 book token as a prize.

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.
Spellings
This week we will be looking at the spellings – Plural Nouns
We will focus on the next 3 words today - dictionaries, identities, coaches
Write down the singular form for each of these words - dictionaries, identities, coaches
Then write down the plural form and explain how they have been made plural. What was the change?
Put each plural word in a sentence to explain its meaning.
Take a look at this lesson from Oak National Academy which will explain all the spelling rules for plurals
Spelling words: bonuses, addresses, boxes, wishes, matches, peaches, dictionaries, identities, coaches, opportunities,
