Good morning Toucans.
I hope you are all keeping well and had a good day yesterday. It was great to see your achievements being shared on our Discussion and Homework pages. You are all working extremely hard and we are very proud of you. Keep up the great work.
Maths
Equivalent FRACTIONS – This week we are starting a unit of work on Fractions. Today we will look at finding equivalent fractions, then we will look at comparing and ordering fractions, adding, subtracting, multiplying and finally dividing fractions. Some of this work should be familiar to you as we did quite a bit of work on fractions in class before Christmas.
Have a go at playing some of these Fraction Games from the Topmarks website.

This week we will be looking at the spellings ei and ie.
We will focus on the first 3 words today - relief, receive, piece
Write each word out 3 times in your best handwriting.
Circle the ei or ie in each word.
Can you write an explanation for each word, maybe put the word in a sentence to explain its meaning?
