Sunday. Oscar Abdy-Collins Leo Santolin

Thank you all for picking up the phone and talking to us. If you haven’t had your call yet, we will endeavour to call you before the end of the week. It was lovely to hear your voices again. Today in maths, we are starting Power Maths Book 4C and continuing with decimals. Writing for today is about a beach scene and a strange sphere. The answer to Thursday’s riddle was second place. Did you get it? Here is today’s riddle. What has hands, but can’t clap?

Please, be reminded that there are no more decimal tasks on Mathletics. We have decided to revisit certain units of work we did earlier in the year. Please also remember to log on to Accelerated Reader when you finish a book to complete a quiz. Continue practising your spellings and multiplication tables. For this you will be using Purple Mash-Monster Multiplication. Please, make sure you read every day.

Have a good day, a wonderful weekend and stay safe.

Mr Sowa, Ms Greenaway & Ms Foster
