Good morning Toucans.
It has been lovely seeing you all on our Zoom calls this week. Thank you Toucans for your enthusiasm and commitment towards your home learning. I hope you all work hard today and then you definitely deserve a few days away from your school work to enjoy spending time with your families over the weekend.
As you know this week is Children’s Mental Health week where we will celebrate the theme ‘Express Yourself’. Try this activity today.
Take a look at our Twitter page for some Problem Solving challenges that have been created by our School Sports Partnership.
I have also attached some Mindful Colouring activities on the blog.
Maths
FRACTIONS – Fractions of amounts – Today is our last day on Fractions. Next week we are moving on to covering Shape and Geometry.
Continue working your way through the Fraction Quiz. This is a great way to revise everything that we have covered in Fractions over the past 2 weeks.
Please view the video if you can’t access the PowerPoint. Just pause after it gives you the 4 multiple choice possible answers and jot down your answer before moving on to the next question.
Have a go at playing some of these Fraction Games from the Topmarks website.

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.
Maybe have a listen to an audio book today
If you continue to record your reading in your diary and get an adult to sign your diary each time you read, you will still be able to collect your raffle tickets when we are back in school.
