Good Morning Leaders.

Lovely to speak to so many of your families yesterday and hear how you are all getting on.  There were some amazing dream catchers made from all sorts of things – you are all very inventive. When you are out on your daily exercise you might want to start looking at all the different colours that you see. If you are able, take a photograph of them – you will need these later in the week.

Let No One Steal Your Dreams – Paul Cookson

Read the poem and then think about the answers to these questions;

Fractions

Have a go at this fraction matching game using both fractions and visual representations Remember that an improper fractions means that the top number is bigger than the bottom number (which means there is more than 1 whole) and that a mixed fraction tells us how many whole ones and how many pieces (which also means there is more than 1 whole).

There are lots of different levels – see how far you can get.

Now for the investigation – how can we grow our own?

You will need some bread, some resealable bags and some oil. Please ask a parent first.

Watch the video below, you can stop it at any time and it also stops and asks you to re-start when you are ready. You can watch multiple times if needed.
