Good morning everyone! I can’t believe you are all in the last 2 weeks of primary 5!!
I hope that you had a lovely weekend. I had a very busy weekend chasing after and cleaning up after a young puppy called Poppy. She has taken to digging in the garden, so you can imagine the mess!!
Check in question: What did you get up to over the weekend?
Today I am going into school so I won’t be available to respond to you this morning, I’ll hopefully be back in the afternoon.
I have set you a few tasks for you today and remember the closing day is always Sunday:
Literacy

Contractions – making words smaller become smaller by using an apostrophe e.g. it is becomes it’s

Tiling Patterns
Today we are going to be looking at tiling patterns with 2D shapes. Tiling is also know as tessellation. A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps. This is a really fun area of maths to explore because you can be really creative and I’m sure you will have explored it before in school. The good thing about tiling is that you can keep it simple if you find it difficult, or you can really push yourself to create some challenging patterns.
Here are some ideas of ways that you can explore tiling at home:

Remember to try to get some exercise today as the weather has to be fairly nice until the afternoon I think!
Have a great day!
I miss you all so much and seeing some of you made me smile(I also had a few tears too!!)
