I hope you have had a good weekend and enjoyed time in the snow.

For those of you who missed the message in the chat on Friday:

I know you are busy with school work and some of you don’t particularly like reading but take a look at these links.

https://www.inspireculture.org.uk/online/

This is the library service and you can join for free and request books, magazines and audiobooks - well worth a look.

If you don’t know what books to read, have a look at this site, you only need to think of a book you liked reading and it will give you other suggestions. www.whatshouldireadnext.com

Another link is https://stories.audible.com/start-listen

They are doing some freebies for kids at the moment. I think you can also get Alexa to read it to you!

Worth a look.

On to the work for the day.

Maths

We have looked at fractions, then decimals and now...percentages.

Quick question - What do you already know about percentages? Here's the symbol to remind you  %

Have a go at the 5 in 5

Spelling

Last week asked you to find some words ending -ial.

Hopefully you realised that this general rule applies

• ‘-cial’ is common after a vowel letter.
• ‘-tial’ is common after a consonant letter.

How does this compare with words ending ‘-tious’ and ‘-cious’?

Can you find words that follow similar rules?

English

We are continuing our work on the our book from last week.

Last week you looked at the character Bradley. Today we are analysing Jeff.

Topic/Computing

I know we have to stay local at the moment, but imagine:

If you got lost in Leicester City Centre, how would you go about finding your way home?

Easy, you think. Let's make it a challenge.

For whatever reason, you are there on your own.

What do you do?

How do people find you?

How do you get home?
