Got that sunshine in my pocket, got that good soul in my feet ……

Hopefully after that little Trolls introduction,  you’re all ready for a fun day of learning action!!  No Trolls (pupils) left behind!

Literacy

1. It’s spelling check time – do you know your en from your on endings? Now is the time to prove it!
2.   We are going to create an alternative ending in our writing today.

This is a great film  – based on the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood to help you think about alternative endings and different sides of a well-known story.

Date and I can write an alternative ending to a well known story.

I have given you a writing frame based on Little Red Riding Hood, but you could easily use the sections if you want to think about another traditional tale or well known story.

Have fun and I’m sure that you will be able to write some terrific alternative endings.

3. Read over your ending and think about your ending – is it reflective, a twist or dialogue? Let an adult read your work and put their comment into your jotter, too!

Numeracy

1.  Starter – continue to develop your skills on Sumdog for at least 10 minutes.
2.   Our focus today is going to be finding fractions of a number .

This link is a great reminder of how to calculate one fraction and from there move on to answer more challenging fractions.

Handy hints

• For 1 (a) the fraction coloured orange is one sixth.
• Remember that the bigger the denominator, the smaller the part e.g. one quarter is a bigger part than one tenth.

3. Traffic light 🚦 and comment on your understanding of the link between division and finding fractions of numbers.
