Good morning Toucans.
We hope you all had a lovely, restful weekend. We are all looking forward to seeing everyone for our Zoom session at 8.40am.
Maths
ARITHMETIC - Today we will have a look at our first Arithmetic test of the Spring term. Mrs Whittingham will start with an introduction and then take your time to complete the questions before we mark them together.
Please watch this video if you can’t access the audio on the PowerPoint. Remember to just pause it when needed and you can play back too if required.
Here is a link for a great game to revise key arithmetic facts – Hit The Button.

Toucans, we would love you to read a little each day of the school book you have or a book you have been reading at home.
Take a look at the new library resource that the Oak Academy has provided. Each week they will provide a free book for you to read.
