Good morning Toucans!
We hope you are all keeping up with your reading at home. We have attached lots of ideas to help you with this today. Please see below in the Reading Section.
Maths
FRACTIONS – changing improper fractions to mixed numbers - Please follow the attached PowerPoint and listen to Mrs Whittingham’s audio recordings to explain each slide.
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.
Remember to take a look at some of these Maths games to revise key facts on fractions.

I have also attached an extra Challenge activity on Comparing Fractions for our keen mathematicians. Page 1 has 9 questions and then page 2 has the answers. This is an optional task so only do if you are feeling really keen!
Times Tables
Recap all your times tables using TTRockstars https://ttrockstars.com/ Where can you get to on the leader board today? We have been so impressed with your daily scores.
Writing – using brackets and dashes
This PowerPoint was too big to attach today so please watch the video and pause it as required.

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 or an edition of First News.
Take a look at the new library resource that the Oak Academy has provided. Each week they will provide a free book for you to read and you will learn more about the author.
https://library.thenational.academy/
This week the book to read is The Girl Who Stole an Elephant by Nizrana Farook.
Here is another great resource to access lots of Reading Books. I know some of you might want to choose a book to read to your little brother/sister. Or one for Yourself!
Our FREE Storytime Online resources are still available to all via our website. Children use a QR code to access a range of stories being read by their authors. The link is: https://www.booksfortopics.com/storytime-online
Spellings
This week we will be looking at the spellings ei and ie.
We will focus on the first 3 words today - protein, achieve, niece,
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?
I have also attached a spelling activity for you to do. Check any spellings you need to using a dictionary.
Here is the link to an online dictionary - https://www.dictionary.com/
Spelling words: ceiling, shriek, perceive, relief, receive, piece, protein, achieve, niece, mischief
