Good morning Toucans.
It has been lovely reading your travel journals this week. They have made us all reminisce about past holidays! I hope you are all looking after your mental health this week and are having a go at some of our suggested activities.
As you know this week is Children’s Mental Health week where we will celebrate the theme ‘Express Yourself’. Try this activity today.
Try another activity from our attached list - ‘Well-Being Ideas’ to keep your minds healthy today and take a break away from your screens.
Maths
FRACTIONS - Division – This will be new to you today as Dividing fractions is only a Year 6 objective. Our focus today we will be dividing fractions by a whole number. Take your time to listen to all the audio clips and to follow the step by step directions.
Have a go at playing some of these Fraction Games from the Topmarks website.

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.
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/Reading

See the Power point attached. Like the Maths, Mrs Downing has recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do.

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.
Spellings
This week we will be looking at the spellings ible and able
We will focus on these 3 words today - responsible, sensible, reasonable
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?
I have also attached a worksheet on ible and able that you might like to complete.
Spelling words: reliable, terrible, comfortable, understandable, visible, possible, responsible, sensible, reasonable, suitable

Eco Schools at Home Campaign
Mrs Brennan has registered our school into an #EcoSchoolsAtHome campaign and she needs your help! Have a look at the below eco-challenges that we would love you to complete before 26th March 2021:
- Draw a ‘Don’t drop litter’ poster and drop it to the school reception area to be displayed in the window
- Upcycle a plastic bottle into something new (e.g. a bird feeder)
- Carry out a 2-day single use plastic audit at home – this means keep a record of all the times you use single-use plastic that needs to be thrown away after use
- Design a new anti-littering slogan and logo for fast food, soft drinks or PPE litter
- Interview an older person to ask them about their thoughts on if the amount of litter is increasing
You can share photos of your work or you completing the eco-challenges with us on Twitter, or drop off anything you do make into the school reception area.
Have a great day everyone. Remember to use the Discussion page on School Spider to chat to us and upload your home learning tasks using the Upload your Homework tab.
Best wishes from Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham and Mr Beswick.
