Todays Timetable 

Good Morning!

We hope you have had a great weekend. We can’t believe we are starting our fifth week of remote learning. You are all being such superstars J.

8:50 – 9.30

PSHE

Before the assembly below begins, have a chat or write down how you are feeling at the moment. We are all going through such strange times not seeing our family and friends. Is it making you feel worried, anxious, sad, nervous? Talking about how you are feeling makes problems less scary.

To kick off Children’s Mental Health Week there is an assembly that has been produced by Place2Be, a mental health charity. The theme of this week centres on ‘Express Yourself’. Self-expression is about communicating your individuality. This can be through your clothes, hairstyle, or through art forms like dance, writing, art or music.

Take a look at the assembly below. It begins at 9am (this will be available throughout the day so don’t worry if you miss it).

Maths

Today in Maths we are going to be looking at fractions. You will need your yellow Maths book. On our class page on the website there are two worksheets to complete. Please complete sheet one first before starting sheet two.

A fraction is a number that is used to represent a whole number that has been divided into equal parts.

Today we are going to begin looking at half, quarters and thirds.

When we look at a fraction we see two numbers with a line in the middle.

The top number is the numerator (how many parts out of the total/ whole we have)

The button number is the denominator (the total/ whole number we have) Remember d for down.

This fraction shows we have 1 out of 2. So we have a half.

Another example is 3/4.

Here we have a numerator as 3 (how many parts we have out of the total/ whole) and 4 as the denominator (the total/ whole we have).

This fraction reads we have 3 out 4 parts. So we have 3 quarters.

To solve a fraction problem, first we need to look at the denominator. The denominator tells us how many parts make the total/ whole.

So 2/4. Here we have 4 parts make a whole (look at the bottom number of the fraction).

Now we need to draw 4 circles so we can equally share out the butterflies we have.

Once we have finished counting the amount out we need to now look at the numerator (the top number showing how many parts of the whole/ total we have).

Our numerator says 2. We now to need to count how many butterflies we have in 2 out of the 4 parts.

3 x 2 = 6

So 2 parts of the whole (4) is 6.

We now know that 2/4 of 12 is 6.

10.55 – 11.10

Break

In English today we would like you to get your comprehension book out and complete page 12. We will be looking and completing page 11 on our Google Classroom session.

When you write your answers try to write in full sentences and use capital letters and full stops.

Home Reader

We now have access to Bug Club. This allows you to read a variety of books at the correct book band you are on at school. We have allocated your book bands but once you have read all of the books within your current book band it will automatically move you up to the next one. We can’t wait to see how many book bands you move up.

Remember to start each story by using the read to me button and then read the story yourself. After each story make sure you answer the questions at the back of the book to help with your comprehension skills.
