Maths
Today, we are learning to add 2 or more fractions. This will follow on from yesterday's lesson.
Here is the link to a video that will teach you everything you need to know for this lesson, just as I would teach you in class: https://vimeo.com/507468794
After you have watched the video, have a go at answering the questions on the attached worksheet. Afterwards, you can mark your answers and ask a grown up to go through any mistakes you made that you don’t know how to correct.

RE
This week in RE, we are going to be thinking about life as a journey and some of the obstacles we encounter along the way and how we deal with them.
Ask your adult to read the underlined paragraph and help you with this part.
Use the quotation ‘Life is like a box of chocolates’ and put it on a piece of paper. Work with your child to create new phrases using the sentence opener 'Life is like...'.
Share your ideas with your adult and ask them for their own thoughts.
Do you both agree with each other? Why?
Do you both disagree? Why?
Most religions tend to view life as a journey.
Find a quiet place and think about your life so far
What have been the high points and the low points?
How could your journey be represented on paper?
I would like you to draw and decorate your own journey of life on the map provided or just a plain piece of paper if you do not have a printer.
Remember to send these to our email address so that I can see them.
